Stand Up! Speak Out!

We are proud of our work as part of the Solidarity Knows No Borders (SKNB) community, where we organise the ‘Stand Up! Speak Out! A Toolkit to Resist the Hostile Environment in the Public Sector’ alongside our colleagues from Migrants Organise and Positive Action For Refugees & Asylum Seekers.

The Stand Up! Speak Out! Series is an annual programme of free, online, practical webinars to give public sector workers up-to-date knowledge of the rapidly changing immigration policy context and the implications for their work. We create spaces for public sector workers to reflect on their professional identity and empower them to resist complicity with hostile and inhumane immigration policy.

The series ran in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Over the three years, we have brought together 71 different specialist organisations and academics to deliver 51 webinars to over 3100 attendees ranging from frontline, management and senior practitioners from professions including social care, housing, employment, welfare, education & health.
