#MigrantsContribute is a campaign that seeks a more truthful portrayal of migrants by stopping the escalating demonisation of migrants in media and political speeches, in order to foster a fairer debate about migration towards the General Elections.

The UK is witnessing a growing demonisation of migrants (negative and false portrayal of migrants’ impact on the UK economy and social life) both in political and media discourse. This is taking place in a context of progressive limitation of migrants’ rights and changes in immigration policy that directly affect migrants living in the UK.

Due to lack of public awareness about the real and diverse ways in which migrants contribute to the UK through work, culture, political and social participation, politicians and parties are keen to fall into these harmful narratives in order to gain votes, encouraging a hostile response to migrants.

-- Our Vision is to live in a society that acknowledges the economic, cultural, political and social contributions that migrants make to the UK, and values the richness brought by diversity ---
