Capita is at it again. This time it’s making money off the government’s brutal deportation programs.

After its controversial involvement in the DWP’s work assessment scheme, and a damning review from GPs on their NHS primary care duties, the FTSE 100 company is gaining a reputation for taking the government’s money and doing a shoddy job. You can help put an end to this.

In the current climate of ‘corporate activism’, companies are responding to the demands of customers like you more than ever. If you act now, together we can expose Capita and force it to stop taking part in these callous deportations.

Capita - stop profiting off people’s misery

This government’s use of mass deportations on commercial and charter flights has been described by human right’s groups as ‘draconian’. Many of the people deported have lived with their families in the UK for decades. Some of them are being sent to countries where they will be persecuted for their sexual identity.

Now a report by Corporate Watch says that deportations are not only costly and ineffective, but dangerous too:

The list of abuses goes on. You can help hold the government and its contractors to account.

Hold the government and its contractors to account - this has no place in modern Britain

Capita, who has lately come under fire after the firm was handed another £700m NHS contract, claim it safely escorts and removes more than 18,000 people from the UK each year.

But a report by HM Chief Inspector of Prisons reported brutal and unprofessional conditions onboard the flights. Handcuffs being kept on people for much longer than necessary. Detainees being denied privacy when using the toilet. And people being refused pillows, blankets and hot drinks during an overnight flight. Private-sector negligence of this sort has no place in modern Britain.

When the government put G4S -- a corporation with a horrifying track record of human rights violations and tax dodging -- in charge of the national helpline responsible for helping people facing discrimination, thousands of SumOfUs members chipped in the money to mount a legal challenge against the move. Time and time again, when SumOfUs members come together, we can force companies and the government to pay attention.
