In the last few days one of our Board members Tre Ventour has written about his concerns about the Nationality and Borders Bill. It will be going through to the House of Lords on the 4th of January. We are asking all our friends and supporters to write to at least one Lord. We are particularly asking those who identify as Christian or Jewish to contact some of those in the faiths that hold a seat in the House of Lords.

These are potential allies (all Lords temporal), based on HoL speech in 2021, who NREC friends and supporters might write to to encourage them to attend and use their vote.

• Lord Dubs
• Baroness Hamwee
• Baroness Bennett
• Lord Berkeley
• Lord Desai
• Lord Kerr
• Lord Harries

These are Lords for members to write to
