(#NACTO) Designing Cities Conference in Washington, D.C. The conference provided an
opportunity to connect with fellow #ActiveTransportation, #PublicHealth, and #SafeRoutes
champions from across the country and share best practices. Sessions attended
and key takeaways: (see pages 46-48 https://www.tamcmonterey.org/files/ba21450c9/Agenda+Packet+-+2025-08-22T103550.309.pdf).

It's not just the English Channel / La Manche.
28 deaths a day as people try to reach Spanish Canary Islands by raft or open boat.
8 drowned in the harbour on arrival yesterday when theit boat capsized.
Again. Migration by boats will continue until a) source countries get just trade, reparations and an end to neocolonialism, and meanwhile,
b) #SafeRoutes

William Burkitt, #Anglican, on bible story of Lazarus (Lk 16). The rich man is “censured” in hell not for his wealth, but his senuality, forgetting to feed the hungry man with superfluities from his table.

Are the “censures” that would come today, more likely to be for the crime of criticizing the rich?

How can you remember to feed the hungry with your superfluities?

Never mind going after the smuggling gangs, how about looking after the people #SafeRoutes would take away the smugglers opportunities

This is why a majority of men make the crushing and leave family at home. 😭

Six children among 12 dead in Channel as crowded boat ‘ripped open’

Pregnant woman among those killed in ‘horrifying’ incident as charities call on government to establish #SafeRoutes

So Labour's second #immigration policy is to increase the number of #raids, not to establish #saferoutes for #asylum seekers, not to recruit more staff to process asylum claims and its backlog, not to abolish/repeal the Tories' appalling legislative regime and not to abolish or ameliorate the hostile environment.

“The only sustainable way to reduce dangerous journeys … is for the government to reduce the need for desperate people to take desperate actions. Instead of hostile, headline-grabbing legislation, we need to see #safeRoutes for those fleeing conflict and persecution, including more options for family reunion, refugee visas, and cooperation with our European neighbours.”
