North West Migrants Forum

Northern Ireland’s politicians urged to ‘Take the Pledge’

THIS year saw Northern Ireland and parts of the UK gripped by a wave of racial hatred, Islamophobia and other forms of intolerance, a wave which reached a violent and disturbing crescendo over the summer period.

In the wake of the discord, the North West Migrants Forum recognised the need for politicians to respond and condemn these incidents and take action to uphold the human rights of all who live in here.

To assist them in that response, we have developed a manifesto in collaboration with a number of partner organisations and created a pledge whereby elected representatives can commit to upholding justice for all in order to create a truly equitable standard of living for everyone who calls Northern Ireland home.

After a snap election in July, we are delighted to finally be able to roll out this campaign.

We hope that our politicians endorse this manifesto, take the equity pledge and display it proudly in their constituency offices.
