Upcoming Event: Annual Conference 2026
Saturday 21st March, London
Our theme for this event is Responsibility.

Our signature event is back this spring! Bringing together activists and campaigners, NGO leaders, academics, artists, students and humanitarians, we invite everyone interested in participating in a space of learning, community, and solidarity to join us for an engaging, exploratory day focused on understanding and overcoming the barriers to an international migration system which upholds fundamental rights and safety as essentials, not as negotiables.

Zrinka Bralo, CEO of Migrants Organise​
Hannah Ward, External Affairs Lead at NACCOM
Elizabeth Mavropoulou, Lecturer in International Law at University of Westminster
Seffi Walker, Co-Producer of Drag Down the Borders

Zrinka Bralo
CEO, Migrants Organise
Zrinka Bralo has been the CEO of Migrants Organise since 2001. Migrants Organise is an award-winning grassroots platform where migrants and refugees organise together for dignity and justice. Migrants Organise provides advice and support for the most vulnerable individuals and families and facilitates numerous migrant justice campaigns such as the Patients Not Passports campaign for access to health care, Promote the Migrant Vote campaign to build electoral power, and the most recent Solidarity Knows No Borders community and the Fair Immigration Movement Charter a call for dignity, justice and welcome for all migrants, refugees and communities of arrival.
Zrinka is a refugee from Sarajevo, where she was a journalist and worked with leading war correspondents during the siege of Sarajevo in the 90s. She is the winner of the 2011 Voices of Courage Award by the Women’s Refugee Commission in New York. Having learned from the US immigrant justice organisers, in 2014, she pioneered a new model of grassroots migrant organising in the UK, which combines organising and campaigning for systemic change with direct access to justice - advice and support for people affected by the Hostile Environment immigration policy. Zrinka holds an MSc in Media and Communications from the London School of Economics and is a 2014 Churchill Fellow. In 2022, she was awarded an honorary doctorate (DLitt) by the University of Exeter.

Steffi Walker
Co-producer, Drag Down the Borders
Steffi Walker (they/she) performs as award winning drag priest Sweet FA (@sweetfa_drag) and is a co-producer of Drag Down the Borders (@dragdowntheborders) a co-organiser of drag choir the Male Gayze; an organiser and volunteer across various grassroots organisations; and is a director,actor, puppeteer, and theatremaker.
Drag Down the Borders puts on shows full of queer joy and solidarity, showcasing incredible drag, burlesque, cabaret and DJ talent. We run fundraising nights with raffles and clothing collections, to raise money in solidarity with migrants, people seeking asylum and refugees. These funds go to people facing cruel immigration policies and to organisations resisting and dismantling these policies and borders. We’ve also hosted and produced performances at: Homotopia, Beats Not Borders, Queer Migrant Pride Festival, Queer House Party, the London Migration Film Festival, and at several protests such as Trans Pride and No Pride in Genocide. We believe in actionable solidarity between and across minoritised communities, and that nobody's free until everybody's free.
In addition to having a show and a DJ, Drag Down the Borders also has stalls for the organisations being fundraised for and local initiatives that resist harmful immigration policies like local antiraids groups and copwatch groups so audience members can learn how to get involved. They are fundraising shows but they are also community spaces where people can actually join up to organisations and get involved IRL, not just on social media.
We are part of a proud heritage of queer nightlife as a way of providing care and community, we co-produce sellout Eurovision boycott shows in collaboration with Miss Ellanous and Panic! At the Drag Show.
