SUMMARY:Medact Bristol screening & social: The Oil Machine
DESCRIPTION:Join Medact Bristol for a drink at the Canteen\, followed by a film screening of “The Oil Machine” at the Cube Cinema! \n\n\n\nThis social and screening event is open to anyone\, whether you’re already involved in Medact Bristol or want to get involved. \n\n\n\nWe’re looking forward to catching up and being inspired by this eye-opening documentary. Released in 2022\, The Oil Machine highlights the complexities of how oil is embedded in our society – from high finance to cheap consumer goods—and brings together a wide range of voices from oil company executives\, economists\, young activists\, workers\, scientists\, and pension fund managers. It considers how this machine can be tamed\, dismantled\, or repurposed. This documentary looks at how the drama of global climate action is playing out in the fight over North Sea oil. \n\n\n\nWe will be at The Canteen (map) from 7pm to 8pm \n\n\n\nScreening at the Cube Cinema (map) at 8pm! \n\n\n\nThe documentary is 82 minutes long and is in English.

SUMMARY:Housing & Health: London meeting
DESCRIPTION:Medact’s Economic Justice Housing & Health Group is organising to improve policies for better access to secure and sustainable housing. This includes working alongside local groups to support local campaigns\, as well as demanding policy change on a national level for better support for social housing\, community-owned housing stock and protections for renters. \n\n\n\nOver the past few months\, our members have been actively involved in national advocacy work through the Homes For Us Campaign\, local organising work in Birmingham\, and a new project organising with tenants and community organisers in Harrow. \n\n\n\nAt this meeting\, you’ll hear from the members involved in our Housing and Health campaign\, get updates on our local organising work in Harrow\, help us develop next steps and identify other potential campaigns in London. \n\n\n\nAfter the meeting we’re having a bit of a social gathering to provide an opportunity to meet other Medact members in London.  \n\n\n\nYou don’t have to be a regular member of the Economic Justice & Health group or a health worker to get involved—everyone is welcome! \n\n\n\nIf you’re unable to attend any of the meetings but keen to get involved or develop a local campaign you can contact Jordi: jordilopezbotey@medact.org \n\n\n\nBackground\n\n\n\nThe housing system in the UK is broken. Currently\, 1.6 million households are on social housing waiting lists and millions more are struggling to meet unaffordable rents in the private sector. One in five dwellings in England fail to meet decent standards for living\, with disregard for basic health and safety measures all too common. Housing is not equitably distributed in the UK: poorer households\, ethnic minority groups\, the elderly and adults with disabilities are all more likely to live in low-quality\, unsafe\, insecure housing. Despite all of this\, social and private rents are growing faster than the cost of living. Social housing stock is dwindling\, yet there are around five times more empty homes in the country than households in need of housing. \n\n\n\nAs part of the health community\, we see and care for the symptoms of an unjust economic system. We are united in struggle with friends and colleagues within and beyond the NHS in organising to end housing-related health inequalities \n\n\n\nYou can read more in our booklet The Public Health Case for Secure Housing \n\n\n[Registration has now closed]

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. \n\n\n\nIdeally one or more people from each group can come along and represent their group\,  and the group representative(s) don’t need to be a coordinator: anyone who is involved is welcome! \n\n\n\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. \n\n\n\nIf you have any questions or would like to chat through anything\, do get in touch with Ben Eder:  beneder@medact.org \n\n\n[Registration has now closed]

SUMMARY:Patients Not Passports New Joiners meeting: June
DESCRIPTION:Want to get involved in the Patients Not Passports campaign? \n\n\n\nThe best way to get up to speed with the campaign and connected with work going on across the country is to come to our next New Joiners meeting.  \n\n\n\nIn this meeting we’ll explore how NHS charging works and how we can fight back\, hear from some of the groups working on the Patients Not Passports campaign\, and explore the different ways you can take part. To win\, we need everyone working together to oppose NHS charging – you don’t need to work in healthcare to be involved! \n\n\n\nIf you can’t make the next New Joiners meeting\, don’t worry! We can also make time for a quick phone call with you or connect you directly with your local group – get in touch by emailing jamesskinner@medact.org. \n\n\n\n\n[Registration has now closed]

SUMMARY:Housing & Health: London meeting
DESCRIPTION:Medact’s EJ Housing & Health Group is organising to improve policies for better access to secure and sustainable housing. This includes working alongside local groups to support local campaigns\, as well as demanding policy change on a national level for better support for social housing\, community-owned housing stock and protections for renters. \n\n\n\nOver the past few months\, our members  have been actively involved in national advocacy work through the Homes for us Campaign\, local organising work in Birmingham and have recently started a new project organising with tenants and community organisers in Harrow.  \n\n\n\nYou will be hearing from the members involved in our Housing and Health campaign\, get updates on our local organising work in Harrow and help us develop our next steps and identify other potential campaigns in London.  \n\n\n\nAfter the meeting we’re having a bit of a social gathering to provide an opportunity to meet other Medact members in London.  \n\n\n\nYou don’t have to be a regular member of the EJ&H group or a health worker to get involved\, everyone is welcome!If you’re unable to attend any of the meetings but keen to get involved or develop a local campaign you can contact Jordi: jordilopezbotey@medact.org \n\n\n[Registration has now closed] \n\n\n\nBackground\n\n\n\nThe housing system in the UK is broken. Currently\, 1.6 million households are on social housing waiting lists and millions more are struggling to meet unaffordable rents in the private sector.  One in five dwellings in England fail to meet decent standards for living\, with disregard for basic health and safety measures all too common. Housing is not equitably distributed in the UK: poorer households\, ethnic minority groups\, the elderly and adults with disabilities are all more likely to live in low-quality\, unsafe\, insecure housing. Despite all of this\, social and private rents are growing faster than the cost of living. Social housing stock is dwindling\, yet there are around five times more empty homes in the country than households in need of housing. \n\n\n\nAs part of the health community\, we see and care for the symptoms of an unjust economic system. We are united in struggle with friends and colleagues within and beyond the NHS in organising to end housing-related health inequalities \n\n\n\nYou can read more in our booklet The Public Health Case for Secure Housing
