Praxis AGM

Redrawing the Narrative

The representation of migrants has often been characterised by hatred and scapegoating, contributing to a hostile environment for migrnats in the UK. How can we transition from ‘benefit scroungers’, ‘cockroaches’, ‘health tourists’ to ‘people’, in the context of Brexit and a new government elected on promises to be tough on migration?

How can we redraw the narrative? Join us at Praxis AGM to find new ways to improve the debate.
