SUMMARY:Housing and 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. \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. \nAt this meeting\, you will hear 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. \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! \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 \nWhen? Wednesday 22 February 2023\, 6.30pm – 8.30pm\nWhere? Medact Offices\, Brick Yard\, 28 Charles Square\, London N1 6HT \n[Registration has now closed] \nBackground\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. \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 \nYou can read more in our booklet The Public Health Case for Secure Housing

SUMMARY:Cost of living crisis media training: We need a just transition!
DESCRIPTION:Interested in becoming a Medact spokesperson on the relationship between public health\, economic justice and climate issues?\n\n\n\nGiving comments and broadcast interviews to the media can seem daunting\, but health workers speaking out can be a powerful way to get our messages across to huge sections of the public. \n\n\n\nWe are building a network of Medact members who have the skills and confidence to speak to the media about the ‘cost of living crisis’\, and how it is inseparable from climate\, economic and health justice! Confidence is key\, and this training will help you to feel prepared and ready to speak out with impact. \n\n\n\nJoin us for an in-person one-day training at the Medact offices in London. This training will be led by our Communications Lead\, TJ\, who will be joined by our campaign leads for Climate and Economic Justice. \n\n\n\nThe training will go through the fundamentals of speaking to the press and preparing for interviews to make sure you nail your messaging. We will also do practice interviews\, with feedback from your peers. \n\n\n\nThere are 10 places on this workshop\, and we will prioritise people who are new to media work and have less experience. If you are interested in attending\, please apply by telling us a bit about yourself in the form. \n\n\n\nRegistration for this training has now closed. Please look out for more media training events coming soon!

SUMMARY:Medact Birmingham: Housing & Health campaign meeting
DESCRIPTION:Meet other Medact members and health workers local to Birmingham who are interested in our Economic Justice work\, hear the latest updates on our Druids Heath campaign\, and find out about how to get involved! \nThe Economic Justice & Health group is currently working in Birmingham to support the Druids Heath Community Forum and their Build 1ST campaign—a community campaign organising against the demolition of council housing in Druids Heath. \n“Build 1ST Druids Heath” is a campaign to build first before eviction\, ensuring that residents get to move to a new house\, stay in the area and only move once: into a permanent\, quality home within their communities\, alongside a guaranteed right to return for those families who have already been moved. \nLast year\, health workers launched a petition demanding that Birmingham City Council listen to residents. At this meeting we’ll discuss how else we can support the community in Druids Heath\, and how we can win the Build First demand. \nWe’ll also explore the impact of housing on health more widely\, and the health community’s involvement in organising around the housing crisis. \nWhether you’ve been involved in our work for a while or are new to Medact\, everyone is welcome! If you have any questions about this campaign or our economic justice work\, drop me a line at jordilopezbotey@medact.org  \n[Registration has now closed]

SUMMARY:Medact Birmingham: Druids Heath Campaign Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Meet other Medact members and health workers interested in our Economic Justice work\, hear the latest updates on our Druids Heath campaign\, and find out about how to get involved. \nThe Economic Justice & Health group is currently working in Birmingham to support the Druids Heath Community Forum and their Build 1ST campaign – a community campaign organising against the demolition of council housing in Druids Heath.  \n“Build 1ST Druids Heath” is a campaign to build first before eviction\, ensuring that residents get to move to a new house\, stay in the area and only move once: into a permanent\, quality home within their communities\, alongside a guaranteed right to return for those families who have already been moved. \nRecently\, health workers launched a petition to Birmingham City Council. We will discuss how else we can support the community in Druids Heath\, and how we can win the Build First demand. We’ll also explore the impact of housing on health more widely\, and the health community’s involvement in  organising around the housing crisis. \nThis is an in-person meeting at Cherry Reds Cafe (map) \n[Registration has now closed]
