The motion

That the Parliament acknowledges the social and cultural significance of marking the fifth anniversary of the Pollokshields dawn raid by Home Office immigration enforcement and subsequent peaceful protest on Kenmure Street, Glasgow, on 13 May 2021, the day that people of the Glasgow Southside constituency rose up to stand in solidarity with members of their community; welcomes the critically acclaimed film, Everybody to Kenmure Street, from the Glasgow-based Chilean filmmaker Felipe Bustos Sierra and is a "love letter" to the community, showcasing its spirit, sense of urgency and humility on the day, and applauds Bowling Green Together for hosting the first Festival of Hope, which was a two-week-long programme celebrating the victory and included know your rights workshops, banner making, screen-printing, a free community meal, music and an opportunity to deepen ties in the Southside community.
