	Glasgow Summer Sleepout 2008	532 días hace
	Dear Supporter, Positive Action in Housing is organising its 2nd Annual Sleepout in Glasgow City centre on Thursday 19 June 2008 from 7pm, on George Square . Many people seeking asylum whose claims are turned down are unable to return home. But they are denied all state support, thrown out of their housing and are not allowed to work. They have no money for food, shelter, and the everyday things we take for granted. This misery is a direct consequence of government policy. Destitution is being used to drive people out of the country – but many thousands simply cannot leave and are now homeless and hungry. We are encouraging our supporters and members to take part in a sleepout to highlight the plight of hundreds of people refused asylum who are being deliberately made destitute in Glasgow by government policy. This attempt to try to force people to leave this country is not working, and carries a devastating human cost. The sleepout will be attended by members of the public, destitute asylum seekers, faith leaders, politicians and celebrities, all of whom are disgusted with the destitution policy towards asylum seekers. If you wish to take part or help us organise the event, please email sleepout@paih.org and we will send you information, or visit www.paih.org where info packs will be available. If you would like to help raise money for Positive Action in Housing’s hardship fund for destitute asylum seekers, please also let us know and we will arrange to send you information. Thanks for your support, Robina Qureshi, Director
