SUMMARY:Securitisation of Health group meeting: April
DESCRIPTION:What is the securitisation of health? \n\n\n\nA number of policing and counter-extremism measures are embedded by the government into UK health services\, which at times require health workers to work closely with the police and other security agencies. \n\n\n\nThese measures risk undermining therapeutic relationships\, confidentiality and trust in practitioners – as well as drawing health services and workers into becoming an arm of policing and counter-terror agencies. \n\n\n\nThrough research and campaigns\, Medact aims to shift understandings of ‘security’\, from typically “hard” measures (border enforcement\, a punitive criminal justice system\, counter-terror measures) and advocate for collective and human security\, health and wellbeing. Read more about our work on Securitisation here. \n\n\n\nAbout the group\n\n\n\nThe Securitisation of Health group is for health workers interested in working on these issues through campaigning\, lobbying and research. New members are welcome!  \n\n\n\nIf you have any questions or concerns about attending\, please email our Campaign Lead Sarah Lasoye at sarahlasoye@medact.org. \n\n\n\nThis event will be held online on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Don't Bank on The Bomb! UK – National Network Meeting April 2025
DESCRIPTION:In a world ablaze with escalating conflicts\, global instability\, and worsening humanitarian crises\, the threat of nuclear weapons to human life is mounting. And yet\, every year\, billions of pounds flow through UK banks\, pension funds\, and other financial institutions that invest in companies producing nuclear weapons\, making the threat of nuclear war even more real.  \n\n\n\nAt Don’t Bank on the Bomb UK\, we are building a nationwide movement to pressure banks and financial institutions to withdraw their support for the nuclear weapons industry\, by demanding they move their money away from companies that manufacture and trade in weapons of mass destruction. \n\n\n\nWhether you’re an experienced activist or just learning about the issue\, Don’t Bank on the Bomb UK is the perfect place to join others committed to building a safer\, nuclear-free world.  \n\n\n\nJoin our second network meeting on Tuesday 22nd April 2025. We are excited to welcome banktrack.org’s Max Hammer to delve deeper into the investment policies of our commercial banks and constructively engage with financial institutions to strengthen their policies to align with ethical commitments. \n\n\n\nIf you have any questions about the campaign or this event\, get in touch with Zahraa\, our DBOTB Project Coordinator: zahraakapasi@medact.org.

SUMMARY:Medact Brighton group meeting: April
DESCRIPTION:Since 2018\, the Brighton group has been creating a space in the city for health workers and friends to come together\, to learn from each other\, support each other\, and to fight together for the human right to health for all. \n\n\n\nOur campaigning has shifted over the years\, from homelessness\, to migrant healthcare access\, to climate and health. \n\n\n\nCurrently\, we are focusing on housing as part of the Homes for Health movement. Brighton has the second mouldiest housing stock in the UK and is plagued by high rents and exploitative landlords\, so we plan to work with local tenants’ organisations to push for affordable\, secure and safe housing for all. \n\n\n\nWe meet monthly\, hybrid-ly (in person and online). If you want to get involved please email brighton@medact.org. \n\n\n\nSign up to Medact Brighton to get involved!
