Language matters. We’ve seen how it can be used to spread misinformation and hate, and how sanctuary seekers and refugees suffer as a result. These tactics divert attention from the real challenges we’re facing and the solutions that would help.

It’s why, this election, we’re asking political parties and individuals to stand up for real solutions that work for everyone in Wales.

Writing to your candidates is an opportunity to share what matters to you.

So join us and Sanctuary Coalition Cymru in asking our future Members of the Senedd to commit to:

1. Support sanctuary seekers to integrate from the moment they arrive in Wales

2. Champion an immigration salary and occupation list to tackle the skills shortages in our workforces

3. Lead conversations based in honesty and evidence, using facts to challenge misinformation
