This march is our opportunity to show that Plymouth is a welcoming, inclusive and anti-racist city.
Racists and the far-right are intimidating refugees, asylum seekers and immigrants by putting up St George flags and Union Jacks around the streets of Plymouth. On recent Flag Force Plymouth demonstrations, people have given Nazi salutes.
We ask all anti-racists, anti-fascists and trade unionists to come and join us.
Bring your trade union flags and banners, pride flags and flags of many countries.

🚍 Migrant Care Workers – Day of Action at Westminster

On Wednesday 17 December migrant care workers in UNISON are heading to Westminster. If you’re a care worker on a Tier 2 visa, or the spouse of a visa holder, this event is for you.

Migrant care workers face unfair visa rules that tie people to one employer, block opportunities, and risk exploitation. We need migrant care workers at Parliament to speak out and demand change.

On the day, we’ll be calling for:

  • A Certificate of Common Sponsorship so migrant care workers can change jobs without risking their visa
  • An end to the government’s plan to scrap the Social Care visa by 2028
  • Opposition to doubling the wait for Indefinite Leave to Remain from 5 to 10 years.

Free travel and support to attend

  • Free coach or train travel will be arranged by your trade union
  • A pre-event briefing will give you the tools and confidence to lobby your MP
  • Food expenses will be covered, so you can participate without worry

This is a chance for migrant care workers to tell MPs directly how the system impacts your life – and to demand better.

Together, we can push back against discriminatory visa rules and win a fairer future for migrant care workers.
