A reminder from ECRE to @eu2025dk.bsky.social:
🔔People seeking asylum are not a security threat
🔔These people are not just 'flowing' in an uncontrollable way; They're fleeing persecution and war in search of safety
🔔 Invest in humane policies & avoid using loaded language to protect people in need.
