Operation #NotForgotten

Australians and Canadians are working together to provide a lifeline for refugees who have been suffering since 2013 because of Australia’s offshore detention policy. Operation #NotForgotten is a community-led response to provide private sponsorship to Canada for refugees who were detained on Manus Island and Nauru and have been left with no viable resettlement option.

Sponsorship applications have already been lodged for 150 refugees in offshore processing and 96 separated family members (246 people in all). Dozens more applications are ready to go as soon as more funds are raised.
