Romany Gypsies and Irish Travellers have ethnic status, yet they are marginalised and have to constantly fight to maintain their cultural way of life.
There is a dire shortage of appropriate accommodation for Romany Gypsy and Irish Traveller families, and this is going to be made even worse with the passing of the new law.
The ethnicity is being challenged unless GRT can prove they are Romany Gypsies or Irish Travellers and to do this they have to prove they travel for work purposes, yet at the same time when they do travel they have no places where they can stop.
Please support us to protect and maintain their cultural and traditional way of life. The Gypsy Traveller Demonstration will be taking place on Saturday 21st May 2016 and The Traveller Movement want YOU to be part of it. The Demonstration will be a March with the community, placards, horses, banners and a petition!
