London, UK. 30th April 2018. Selma James, author of The Power of Women and the Subversion of the Community, co-founder of the International Wages for Housework Campaign, and coordinator of the Global Women's Strike listens at the protest in support of the petition calling for an end to the deportations of migrants in the 'Windrush generation' who arrived in Britain between 1948 and 1971. It calls on the government to change the burden of proof which means they are now required to prove their right to remain, and to provide compensation for any loss and Most of those who have been deported, threatened with deportation or refused entry after visiting families abroad have worked here for many years, paying taxes and raising families here and have long regarded Britain as there home. Despite government promises some are still under imminent threat of forced deportation on charter flights. The petition has gained over 170,000 signatures. Speakers included Harold who came to this country legally in the 1950s and and has worked here since who the Home Office has been refusing a passport, others whose parents and grandparents are from 'Windrush' families, anti-racism campaigners, NEU General Secretary Kevin Courtney and Shadow Home Secretary Diane Abbott.
