The People’s Campaign for Equality, Jobs and Justice will launch its ‘No Back Door to Status’ campaign on Friday in order to encourage Government to take action towards a loophole that can give at least 1,400 people Bermudian citizenship.

The campaign asks that Government make a commitment to fix the loophole legislatively and undertake a review process with a view to establishing a path to status for PRC-qualified holders.

A group spokesperson said the success of the campaign “would go a long way toward restoring the people’s confidence in the integrity of Government.

“If the Government wants to then have a review of the current pathway to citizenship, it should be undertaken on its own merit through the establishment of a formal review process.

“Such a review should be guided by a desire to develop pathways to citizenship that are fair and equitable and that strike a balance between the needs of a small country such as Bermuda and the rights of émigrés.”

Supporters are asked to wear red on Friday to show solidarity.

Stickers saying ‘No Back Door to Status’ will also be distributed by the People’s Campaign.
