SUMMARY:A People’s Economy: the fight for health and economic justice
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the online launch of three brand new pamphlets developed by members of the Economic Justice & Health group.\nThese booklets explore the key campaigning areas of secure housing\, tax justice and liveable incomes\, and provide an informative resource for those looking to fight against economic and health injustice. \nWe’ll hear from a great line-up of speakers on the issues covered by the booklets: \n\nGuppi Bola\, strategist\, organiser and co-founder of Decolonising Economics and author of “Reimagining Public Health”.\nAbigail Acheampong\, cleaner at Royal London Hospital. UNITE representative and key leader in the campaign that ended outsourcing in England’s biggest NHS trust\, and\nRepresentatives from Housing Action Southwark and Lambeth and London Coalition Against Poverty\n\nA decade of austerity policies and vast cuts to public finances have contributed to worsening health for people and communities that are marginalised by our current economic systems.  \nAs members of the health community\, our work is as much about caring for those in immediate need as it is about advocating for and building new societal systems in which all are able to live well and thrive.  \nDownload the digital booklets in advance of the event here: \n[ess_grid alias=”ej-zines”] \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Organising for Power: The Core Fundamentals
DESCRIPTION:Do you want to build your skills to support your campaigning for health justice? \n\n\n\nMedact will be joining the Organising for Power (O4P) Training Sessions to learn\, practice and reflect together on core skills to bring into our campaigning for health justice. \n\n\n\nOrganising for Power: The Core Fundamentals is organised by lead trainer Jane McAlevey and hosted by the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation. \n\n\n\nJane McAlevey has spent years organising in health settings across the UK and Europe – this training exists to support groups to develop core skills to strengthen their campaigns. We will be joining these sessions as Medact to collectively explore approaches to organising in the workplace and communities\, how to bring people in and build power for health justice. We will practice the core skills and reflect on how we can bring these practices into our campaigns. \n\n\n\nYou can sign up below to participate with Medact for the O4P training — please register your interest by Friday 22nd April. \n\n\n\nLogistics\n\n\n\nThe 6-week course is due to take place every Tuesday from 5 – 7pm BST between the 10th May and 14th June. \n\n\n\nWe will hold an additional session at the end of the course to reflect as Medact on the training. \n\n\n\nWe appreciate that starting at 5pm may be difficult for people to join and we would like to support as many people as possible to access and engage in the training — so are considering running an alternative later timeslot of 7 – 9pm on Wednesday. Please indicate which timings would work for you on the registration form. \n\n\n\nFor the training\, it is important as far as possible to have a consistent group of people\, so please only register if you would be able to make the majority of sessions. \n\n\n\nFurther Information\n\n\n\nTo see more details and the background to the programme\, please see this Organising for Power Explainer. \n\n\n\nIf you have any questions at all about joining the training with Medact\, please get in touch with Medact’s Organiser\, Ben Eder\, at beneder@medact.org. \n\n\n\nRegistration has now closed!

SUMMARY:Medact Research Network Quarterly Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The Medact Rights Research Network Quarterly is a space for us to come together\, share our work\, discuss new projects\, or delve into deep discussion about research that has caught your interest. We aim to collectively develop our thought and research practices. \nOur network meets every 3 months\, and is a great way to connect with others interested in research in this area. If you’re looking for a way to get involved in new projects or invite people to join your own – the quarterly meeting is a great place to start. \nAs always\, we invite you to share your work with the group! This could be talking briefly about a research project you’ve recently completed or are currently working on\, or a paper you’ve seen that you’d like to share and discuss with the group. \nYou’ll have 5 minutes to introduce the project\, and then we’ll have space in the meeting for people to further discuss the projects that interest them. It’s a great opportunity to explain a new idea and connect with other researchers keen to collaborate on your project. \nInterested? Get in touch with Sarah\, including a few details of what you’d like to talk about! \n[Registration has now closed]
