Brighton Migrant Solidarity
Brighton Migrant Solidarity is a grass-roots community and campaign group. We work to support migrants in Brighton and beyond. We believe that everybody has the right to cross borders. Our aim is to build a strong and diverse movement where we support each other in our personal and political struggles to make the world a place where there truly is space for all.
There is a good provision of services for people who find themselves on the wrong side of the UKs border rules. What there isnt is day to day love and support. We try to rectify that. If you fancy our mutual aid and solidarity, drop us an email brimigsol@riseup.net or come to our meeting.
We hold regular meetings, and aim to offer care and support to people whilst campaigning for change.

We seek to encourage people to find positive ways to address their own needs, build skills and resilience, and work towards integration in the UK through an active programme of volunteering and mentoring.
