Hello everyone. I edited this post after the first 92 notes because several people told me that the link I originally put here didn’t work for them.

My computer is going to die soon so it would be very awesome if you donated money to my PayPal account so I can continue to make art.

I might make a custom gif or Vine for you if you donate a lot and send me a private message. I’ll also probably make a gif or Vine and post it on here once I finally purchase my computer thanking everyone who donated.

To do this either go to the home page of my blog on a desktop, and click the donate button, or type the email manually at rebraun@optonline.net

Any amount is appreciated!

Anyhow, I’ll check this blog now and again but won’t be using it basically

Beverley Vaanda Kanjii and her 14 year-old son are currently facing deportation. After being assaulted and forcibly removed from their home in Glasgow by the Home Office Enforcement Team, they will be deported to Namibia on Thursday, 24th of March.

By making a phone blockade, we will urge KLM Royal Dutch airlines, and Heathrow Airport, not to take part in this inhumane and racist action by calling them to not deport Beverly and her son. Invite all of your friends, share, retweet, post and make some noise to free Beverly and her son. If you cannot make the time tomorrow, just call at another time (more details below)!

Beverly, who has lived in the UK since 2013, fled Namibia due to the verbal and physical abuse suffered in Namibia due to her sexuality. She is a survivor of forced marriage, and had no protection from the Namibian state from the violence her and her son were suffering. She and her son are in immediate danger of violence on account of her sexuality if forcibly sent back.

Flight details:
- London Heathrow to Amsterdam 11.45am on KLM Royal Dutch Airlines (flight number 1010)
- Amsterdam to Frankfurt Main 3.35pm on KLM Royal Dutch Airlines (flight number 1771)
- Frankfurt Main to Windhoek, Namibia 8.10pm on Air Namibia (flight number 286)

A phone call/e-mail could look like this:
London Heathrow:

“Hello, I am calling/writing because I am concerned that my friend Beverley Vaanda Kanjii and her 14 year old son are being deported on a KLM Royal Dutch Airlines (flight number 1010), at 11:45am on Thursday 24th of March from London Heathrow. This is being done against their will.

If they are deported they face grave risk to their health and life. This is against their human rights and is immoral.
If the security/staff at London Heathrow choose to not let Beverly and her son get through security/board their flight, they will not be in trouble but they may help save her and her son from great danger. Security/Staff have the power to prevent putting Beverly and her son at risk.

I really urge Security/Staff at London Heathrow to not take part in this inhumane/immoral action and that they realise the urgency/necessity of hindering the deportation of Beverly and her son. Thank you.”

As an airline, you have the power to refuse to fly any passengers. Beverly and her son will be under great distress, and will possibly not be complying to get into the plane.

If the pilot chooses not to fly with Beverly and her son on the plane, the pilot will not be in trouble but they may help save her and her son from great danger. The final call whether a plane flies or not rests with the pilot, they have the power to prevent putting Beverly and her son at risk.
As a company, you do not have to participate in deporting vulnerable people.“

[website link here where I found this information]

The following is intended as a guideline if you are unsure what to say when phoning an airline in protest of a forced removal. These suggestions are simply that – suggestions –and as a concerned individual you are welcome to say anything you like.

• WHEN THE REPRESENTATIVE ANSWERS, YOU CAN SAY:

• You are making a complaint
• You do not have to say your name (although you can if you wish *), other than that you are a concerned member of the public
• Provide the Name, Flight Details and Home Office Reference Number of the person they are trying to remove
• You are shocked that this airline would participate in forced removal

• YOU ARE ASKING THE AIRLINE:

• To refuse to participate in this forced removal and not allow the person to be taken on the flight
• To recognise the person is in grave risk of danger (even death) if removed to their country
• To make the pilot aware of the removal **

• YOU CAN PROVIDE ANY DETAILS OF THE PERSON’S CASE IT FEELS APROPRIATE TO SHARE

• Examples may include:
• Unity will provide the details of each person’s case on its website whenever an Urgent Action Appeal is made

• This person has an open case
• This person is not from the country where the flight is going
• This person has a family in the UK

• IF THE PERSON YOU ARE SPEAKING TO IS BEING DIFFICULT

• You can ask to speak to a manager
• If they refuse, you can simply hang up and dial again

• SOCIAL MEDIA

• Tweet or write on the airline’s Facebook page and ask your friends to do the same to create a public relations issue
• Airlines, like any other capitalist company, want to create a positive image of themselves, and drawing attention to their complacency and participation in this system of forced removal can force them to act

* People have lots of different ways of expressing themselves in these situations – some people are very harsh, some prefer to be very calm. It is important to remember that the airline representatives you are speaking to are not police and not immigration, and therefore they can’t “get you into trouble,” as you are just a concerned member of the public making a complaint.

** Pilots have the discretionary power to take people off their flights. If Unity is doing an Urgent Action Appeal for someone it is likely we will brief them about trying to catch the attention of the public or the pilot when on the plane. If the pilot can already be aware that there is a person being removed and, crucially, there is public awareness of this, they may be more likely to act.
