Come to meet groups and individuals campaigning against the Home Office's latest move to deport as many people as possible, share information and make useful links.

Mass deportations are posing a new threat to communities in the UK. At least six mass deportation flights between 27 August and 22 September have deported people to Nigeria, DR Congo, Jamaica, Cameroon, Afghanistan, Iraqi Kurdistan.

There’s a joint charter flight from UK and France today (20 October 2009), leaving Lille airport at 22:00. There will be a demonstration at 20:00 at the airport in Lille.

Around 50 Afghans detained in various detention centres in France are expected to be on the flight. The only details on the UK part for now is that the flight is leaving from there.

On 3rd October, the Stop Deportation Network is organising a fundraiser at Rampart Social Centre in Whitechapel. Then on 7th November the network is organising a one-day forum under the title "Mass deportations, Mass resistance", which is aimed of building a UK-wide network to resist and campaign against mass deportations
