We are Action Against Detention and Deportations (AADD), an autonomous collective of groups and individuals resisting detention, deportations, and the wider “hostile environment” against migrants in the UK.
We are refugees, asylum seekers, migrants, comrades, and community members coming together to fight the UK’s racist, sexist, and colonialist immigration policies that harm us, our families, friends, and communities.
Our actions are rooted in solidarity with people experiencing detention and deportations. We take actions outside reporting centres and detention centres across the country to show our solidarity with people locked inside, build power against this system of cruelty, and share our rage at the government and all those who profit from this violent injustice.
We know that protesting or taking part in direct action is not possible for everyone, so there are lots of ways to get involved! You can also support by sharing your knowledge, language and translation skills, or by amplifying the work of groups resisting detention and deportations.
