SUMMARY:'The Suspect' Author Talk: Mental Health\, Counterterrorism\, and the Surveillance State
DESCRIPTION:*** RESCHEDULED: from 21st June to 5th July ***\nDue to industrial action on the transport network\, we have moved the date of this event to Tuesday 5th July. Solidarity with the striking rail workers! \nWhat impact has two decades’ worth of policing and counterterrorism had on the state of mind of Muslims in Britain? The Suspect draws on the author’s experiences to take the reader on a journey through British counterterrorism practices and the policing of Muslims. \nJoin Rizwaan Sabir and Tarek Younis for discussion on the traumatising effects of Sabir’s surveillance\, arrest and detention for suspected terrorism. \nWriting publicly for the first time about the impacts of these experiences\, Sabir argues that these harmful outcomes are not the result of errors in government planning\, but the consequences of using a counterinsurgency warfare approach to fight terrorism and police Muslims. \nTo resist the injustice of these policies and practices\, we need to centre our lived experiences and build networks of solidarity and support. \nPlease register to receive a 20% discount code for The Suspect when purchasing via Pluto Press. \nThis is an in-person event with an option to livestream via Zoom. The venue is Brady Arts & Community Centre\, 192-196 Hanbury St\, London E1 5HU (map). \n[Registration has now closed] \n— \nDr Rizwaan Sabir is a Lecturer in Criminology at Liverpool John Moores University in the UK and author of The Suspect: Counterterrorism\, Islam\, and the Security State. \nDr Tarek Younis is a Senior Lecturer in Psychology at Middlesex University.

SUMMARY:Securitisation of Health group meeting
DESCRIPTION:**Postponed: new date TBA**\nA number of policing and counter-extremism measures are embedded by the government into UK health services\, at times requiring health workers to work closely with the police and other security agencies. \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. \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. \nThe Securitisation of Health group is for health workers interested in working on these issues through campaigning\, lobbying and research. New members are welcome! If you have any questions\, please email Reem Abu-Hayyeh.

SUMMARY:Economic Justice & Health: Welfare & Health Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Healthcare workers are in a unique position to witness how contact with the welfare system can be harmful to people’s physical and mental health. \n\n\n\nHealing Justice London’s Deaths by Welfare Project investigates deaths linked to welfare reform and the violence of state austerity. Deaths by Welfare is led by China Mills and co-created with John Pring (Disability News Service). The knowledge and leadership of disabled people fighting fatal reforms is central to this work.  \n\n\n\nThe Deaths by Welfare Project and Medact are working together to better understand how healthcare workers bear witness to the harms of the welfare system; navigate complicity in a system that is often disempowering and enraging; and how they practice\, or dream of practising\, allyship with those with lived experience.  \n\n\n\nRegister \n\n\n\nThis workshop is for you if you…\n\n\n\n\nare a healthcare worker who witnesses the impact of the welfare state on people’s health\n\n\n\nare navigating feelings of complicity with a system that doesn’t leave you many other options\n\n\n\nwant to think more about\, or share existing practices of\, allyship\n\n\n\n\nThis will be an exploratory space for sharing\, discussion and collective learning\, which aims to:  \n\n\n\n\nidentify and understand the kinds of resources that healthcare workers know about and/or need to support people in their contact with the welfare system\n\n\n\nthink collectively about what allyship might\, and does\, look like\n\n\n\n\nPlease read before registering…\n\n\n\nEverything about the project is distressing\, so we’ve spent a lot of time creating processes for supporting people to engage – co-designed and informed by the expertise of people with lived experience.  \n\n\n\nHowever\, the session will likely be triggering for different people in different ways\, especially depending on how folks are positioned in relation to the welfare system\, their experiences of cumulative harm\, trauma\, and distress. \n\n\n\nWe want to honour the legitimacy of your self-knowledge (that you know yourself best) while also understanding how the violence of the system shows up in so many ways (in our bodies\, and our emotions) both every day and sometimes unexpectedly. We would like you to participate in a way that honours how you’re feeling and that prioritises care. There will be other opportunities to connect with us if now isn’t right for you. Please do what’s right for you at this time. \n\n\n\nPlease find some resources available here:  \n\n\n\n\nHJL aftercare menu \n\n\n\nThe GEN Grief toolkit \n\n\n\nHJL’s events including monthly grief circle\, weekly breath circle and restorative yoga\n\n\n\n\nRegistrations are limited to 30 people. Please only register if you are able to attend. Once capacity has been reached\, you will be waitlisted and contacted if a space becomes available. \n\n\n\n[Registration has now closed]
