SUMMARY:A transformative Green New Deal — getting the BMA on board
DESCRIPTION:Doctors and medical students have been organising within their trade union in support of a radical response to the climate crisis! They have successfully managed to get a Green New Deal motion on to the BMA’s conference agenda – it will be debated at the annual representatives meeting on the weekend of the 13th-14th September. \nIn this event we’ll hear from grassroots organisers within the BMA about what they’ve done so far\, and discuss what we should do next in the campaign to get the BMA to support the Green New Deal. Most importantly we’ll discuss how doctors and med students\, who want to organise for climate justice within the BMA\, can get involved! \nWhether or not you are coming to the BMA annual meeting\, or are even a BMA member – you are warmly invited to this event if you want to see the BMA supporting a Green New Deal. \n[Registration has now closed]

SUMMARY:Patients Not Passports — New Joiners meeting September 2021
DESCRIPTION:The best way to get up to speed with the campaign and get connected with work going on across the country is to come to our next New Joiners meeting on Thursday 9th September. We’ll cover campaign strategy\, hear from some of the groups working on the Patients Not Passports campaign\, and explore the different ways you can get involved. We’re currently building towards a national day of action in October\, so there’s lots to do! \n? Register for the next New Joiners meeting – Thurs 9th September ? \nMost of the Patients Not Passports work happens through locally focused campaign groups\, with groups based in: Sheffield\, Liverpool\, Manchester\, Bristol\, Brighton\, Birmingham\, Oxford; East\, South\, and South East London; Glasgow\, and Wales. If you’re not in any of these places\, don’t worry! Docs Not Cops and Medact’s Migrant Solidarity Group work nationally or we can support you to set up your own local group. You don’t need to work in healthcare to be involved! To win we’ll need everyone working together to oppose NHS charging and there is room for everyone in the campaign. \nIf you can’t make the next New Joiners meeting\, don’t worry – there’ll be another one in a few months or we can make time for a quick phone call with you or connect you directly with your local group. If you have time\, you could check out How NHS staff are fighting back against the ‘hostile environment’ for an overview of the campaign\, or read Challenging Healthcare Charging in the NHS\, a briefing that examines where the Hostile Environment policies came from\, how they work\, what their impact is\, and what we can do about them. \n? Register for the next New Joiners meeting – Thurs 9th September ?

SUMMARY:Alternative Training on Prevent in Healthcare #3
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 the third in our series of Alternative Trainings on Prevent online on Thursday 30th September 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\nFarzana Khan ─ a writer\, director\, cultural producer and award-winning arts educator\, Farzana is the Executive Director and Co-founder of Healing Justice London\nMore to be confirmed\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. \n[Registration has now closed]

SUMMARY:Speaking out at COP 26 ─ climate media training for health workers
DESCRIPTION:As world leaders meet to discuss our future at the COP 26 climate talks\, health workers from across the UK will take action to demand the transformative changes we need to win both health justice and climate justice. Ahead of the conference\, Health for a Green New Deal is running a day-long\, specialised spokesperson training for health workers who are keen to speak out to the media. \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. Confidence is key\, and this training will help you to feel prepared and ready to speak out with impact – at COP 26 and beyond! \n\n\n\nThe training\, led by Dr Rita Issa\, will go through the fundamentals of speaking to the press\, preparing for interviews to make sure you nail your messaging\, and we will run practice interviews with feedback from your peers. \n\n\n\nThere are 12 places on this training\, and we will prioritise places for people from the health community who are marginalised\, from communities who are under-represented in the media. If you are interested in attending\, please apply by telling us a bit about yourself in the form. \n\n\n\nIf you have any questions\, get in touch with us on info@health4gnd.uk \n\n\n\n[Registration has now closed] \n\n\n\nAbout the lead trainer\n\n\n\nDr Rita Issa is a GP\, academic and activist. She’s appeared on the BBC\, ITV\, Sky News\, Al Jazeera and Novara Media\, among others\, and has trained through a number of media and communications groups\, including as part of the NEON spokesperson network. She’s led on a number of social media campaigns\, making millions of impressions across platforms like Twitter and Tumbler\, and is a columnist for the Independent\, most recently writing a series from her time aboard the Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise. www.drritaissa.com | @DrRitaIssa

SUMMARY:Refugees Welcome Demo
DESCRIPTION:Right now\, women\, children and men fleeing war\, persecution and conflict need our support. Yet just when the UK needs to uphold its commitments to refugees\, in October the new Nationality and Borders Bill moves closer to becoming law. This bill will make it harder than ever for people who come here to seek safety. \nThe government has committed to take 20\,000 Afghan refugees over the next five years. But that isn’t enough\, and lacks the necessary urgency. While we are hearing accounts of mothers throwing their babies over razor wire in desperation in the face of the horrors facing them under the Taliban\, the UK government plans to make people wait years for resettlement\, and to imprison any who manage to flee to the UK by other means. \nWe can and must do more to welcome refugees\, and not just Afghans. Everyone who crosses borders for safety should be given a fair hearing and a chance to rebuild their lives. \nWe know that our communities can be generous and welcoming and that many people want to do more for those who come here for safety. Through this rally\, we want to show the Government that we oppose this Bill\, and that we want to live in a humane and welcoming society. \nIf you agree\, join us outside Parliament. Hear from refugees and add your voice to the movement to welcome them. The event is for everyone who cares about the rights of people to seek asylum. \nThe rally is being organised by people with experience of the asylum system with support from Solidarity With Refugees\, Women for Refugee Women and IMIX\, but we want it to belong to us all.
