Exiled journos' network

From EJN:

You may have heard or read about the official launch of the Exiled Journalists' Network (EJN)- a group set up by and for refugee journalists trying to rebuild their career and life in the UK. We're humbled by the support we've received from the union to launch this outfit.

I'm writing requesting if the branch might help by paying a contribution towards our EJN Emergency Relief Fund for destitute asylum seeking journalists whom majority of them have exhausted their legal challenges and are now not eligible for assistance due to Section 4 of the Immigration laws.

We're getting legal advice from the Headland House on some of the cases but some of our members are in difficult circumances hence my appeal for assistance from your branch.

Cheques can be written payable to the Exiled Journalists' Network (EJN) and post to our address on the signature.

We also encourage members of our network to joim NUJ branches and anyone who've approached your please refer them to the network.
