SUMMARY:Health for a Green New Deal: Action Workshop
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, the call for a transformative Green New Deal has been growing at a rapid pace. The COVID-19 pandemic has only intensified the urgency of this cause\, highlighting the need for a recovery that is both socially and ecologically just. What recent challenges have shown us is that we can’t separate the health and wellbeing of our planet from that of our own. The Green New Deal\, a 10-year emergency plan to eliminate emissions and tackle inequality\, presents an opportunity to reprioritise and place good health at the centre of all economic and social planning. \nThe health community has a key role to play in envisioning and demanding these changes. We hope you will join us for this workshop as we begin to build a collaborative plan for the roles that various bodies and institutions can play in bringing about a Green New Deal. \n[Registration has now closed]

SUMMARY:Online Storytelling Action for Green Jobs
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday 23rd March\, we’re teaming up with Green New Deal UK to run an online storytelling action\, calling on MPs to support the creation of secure\, well-paid green jobs as part of a post-COVID recovery. \n\n\n\nWhy ‘green jobs for all’?\n\n\n\nAs many as 1.9m jobs are at risk of being lost permanently as a result of the impacts of the pandemic. It is vital that the Government now intervenes to invest in job creation\, but if our recovery only increases emissions\, we will only pivot from one crisis to another: Climate Change. \n\n\n\nCreating new\, secure\, well-paid green jobs has to be a priority if we are to build a healthy and sustainable recovery post-COVID. Research by Green New Deal UK shows that\, with the right investment\, the Government could create as many as 1.2m green jobs over the next two years alone. \n\n\n\nGreen jobs aren’t just what we might traditionally expect: people in hard-hats building wind turbines. They’re also jobs in vital\, low-carbon\, sectors such as education and healthcare. By focusing on such key industries\, a green recovery can help us tackle staff-shortages in the NHS at the same time as fighting the climate crisis! \n\n\n\nHow do I take part in the storytelling action?\n\n\n\nAll you need to join the action is a phone to record a video on\, and yourself! The aim of the action is to amplify support in the health community for the creation of a national green jobs scheme\, highlighting the benefits to public health of ensuring employment that is both secure and sustainable. \n\n\n\nYou can take part at any time during the day of the 23rd March ─ whenever you have 5-10 spare minutes in your day. \n\n\n\n\nSign up now to receive a copy of our digital action guide that lays out in more detail the steps to follow to participate in the action! \n\n\n\n\n[Registration has now closed]

SUMMARY:Alternative Training on Prevent in Healthcare
DESCRIPTION:It is possible to create a society in which our collective safety and wellbeing are prioritised. Developing trusting\, healthy relationships with all of our patients is essential to this work. \nHowever\, Prevent ─ with the government’s stated aim of identifying “vulnerability to radicalisation” ─ compromises all of this\, and is a source of harm and increased marginalisation. \nWhy is the NHS the only healthcare system in the world with a legal obligation to engage with such a strategy? What aren’t you being told about Prevent in safeguarding training? \nJoin our Alternative Training on Prevent online on Monday 29th March at 6pm to learn more\nThis training will seek to shed light on some unanswered questions about Prevent. We will hear from: \n\nMembers of Medact’s Securitisation of Health Group (SHG)\nDr Tarek Younis ─ a cultural and clinical critical psychologist and lecturer in psychology\nMarcelo Camus ─ member of Medact’s SHG\, a social practice artist and co-founder and organiser of the Social Art Network\nReem Abu-Hayyeh ─ Campaigns and Policy Lead: Peace and Security at Medact\n\nThis event is particularly aimed at people who work or are training in\, study\, or who have worked in health. \nWe are aware that some people may feel some concern or worry about attending the event. As such\, we will be sending an email out to attendees prior to the event detailing how we will be seeking to make this event as safe and secure as possible. \nThe event is now full!

SUMMARY:‘Building the Health Movement for Climate Justice’ at From The Ground Up II: Taking Action
DESCRIPTION:Are you a health worker or health student wanting to take action at COP 26? Join us for this interactive session to build the health movement for climate justice.\n‘Building the Health Movement for Climate Justice is co-organised by Medact\, Race & Health\, The People’s Health Movement (PHM) Environment & Health Circle\, PHM UK\, PHM Scotland\, Health for Future and Students for Global Health as part of the COP 26 Coalition’s second global gathering – From the Group Up II: Taking Action. \nThis session will build upon the ‘Why Health Justice means Climate Justice’ session at the first From the Ground Up event where we explored how public health can be a powerful way to address the roots of health and climate injustice. ‘Building the Health Movement for Climate Justice’ will be a workshop to envision how the health community can build power and organise for action before\, at and after COP26. \nThe workshop’s vision for action at COP26 is to organise a People’s Health Hearing that bears witness to the public health impacts of extractive industries and the systems driving climate breakdown and health inequities. It will be a space to connect to people’s struggles and set out a vision for intersectional\, transformative climate justice. At From the Ground Up II: Taking Action Now\, this will be the start of collectively organising for a People’s Health Hearing and taking action as the health community at COP 26. \nRegister via EventBrite
