SUMMARY:Medact Groups Check-in
DESCRIPTION:This is a space for people active in Medact local or issue groups to connect\, to share collective learning from our organising—the challenges and successes and how we can support each other moving forward. \nWe would love one or more people from each group to come if possible\, and the group representative  doesn’t need to be a coordinator: anyone who is involved is welcome! \nAs part of the check in\, we would love for each group to spend two minutes sharing a few highlights from the last few months\, any challenges you’ve had\, and any plans you have coming up. \nIf you have any questions or would like to chat through anything\, do get in touch with Ben Eder:  beneder@medact.org \n[Registration has now closed]

SUMMARY:Health for a Green New Deal: Prescription for Climate Justice
DESCRIPTION:Last year\, health workers across the UK started running climate clinics to engage their communities and put pressure on MPs to oppose new fossil fuels and support the Green New Deal Bill. \nAlmost a year since COP26\, the government has approved new oil fields with up to 40 in the pipeline. At the same time\, energy companies have recorded profits\, whilst people are having to choose between heating and eating. \nThis year\, we are going to build the pressure – join us online for the October Big Meeting of the Health for a Green New Deal campaign\, where we will be coming together to: \n\nHear updates from local groups\nLaunch our brand new ‘Prescription for Climate Justice’ action guide\nPractice persuasive conversations\nShare plans around COP 27 Global Day of Action & the People’s Health Tribunal\n\nWhether you’ve been organising with us all along or are brand new to H4GND\, the Big Meetings are the perfect opportunity to hear what’s been happening\, what we have planned and how you can get involved. If you have any questions about this event or the campaign\, please email Rob (robabrams@medact.org) or Ben (beneder@medact.org).  \n[Registration has now closed]
