Facing Deportation: No one can fight against it alone
NCADC has been supporting individuals, families and communities to campaign against deportation for 11 years - the past year has been a hard one for all those facing deportation and those campaigning to stop deportations. However there has been lots of magnificent resistance and many victories, so the Home Office has not had it all there own way.
NCADC's AGM will bring together from around the UK people facing deportation their families/friends and groups that are resisting removals from the UK.
NCADC is still in the middle of a funding crisis with no light at the end of the tunnel. As you know, we have been reduced from four offices to two. Calls from across the UK are being handled by the two remaining staff in Manchester and Birmingham.
We would first all like to thank all those who have made a donation or taken out a standing order, some of you have done both. This has allowed NCADC to keep the two remaining staff in post since March and for several months to come, but we are just using up money that is not being replaced. We have not been able to obtain on-going core funding and it is proving exceedingly hard to do so. If you have not yet made a donation or taken out a standing order (docs attached), here is another chance to do so.
Lunch will be provided for all participants, and there will be a crèche.
Travel costs for those facing deportation is reimbursed by NCADC for cheapest advanced bookings on National Express coaches. Please note that NCADC cannot reimburse for more expensive forms of travel - e.g. more expensive tickets bought on the day of travel.
Due to our present financial restraints if you need help with purchasing tickets you must contact your nearest coordinator not later than Friday the 12th May. NCADC will purchase tickets and post them to you, however we will not be able to alter tickets once posted.

Jan 10th: Help us pack the hearing room as we say no to the death penalty!
The California Commission on the Fair Administration of Justice will hold the first of three public hearings on the death penalty on January 10th in Sacramento, CA. The hearings will draw input from experts and members of the public in an unprecedented effort to address serious flaws in California's death penalty system.
At the upcoming hearings, experts in the field will present research and testimony on racial and geographic disparities in death sentencing, costs, problems with juries and other important topics. The Commission will also hear from the public and listen to the experiences of victims' families and others affected by the death penalty system.
