Tell Theresa May to not shut the door on unaccompanied refugee children!
As the world's most vulnerable children knock at Britain's door, our shameful parliament refuses them. The Dubs scheme hoped to help thousands of refugee children & now Britain closes its door after allowing a mere 350 onto our shores. Tell our PM that this is unacceptable and must be reconsidered!
In an effort to help unaccompanied refugee children, Lord Dubs (a former refugee himself) helped design the Dubs scheme: a scheme to help thousands of children. But as our MPs backtrack on their decision, it is estimated that 90,000 unaccompanied refugee children remain in Europe as they flee their war torn countries.
