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.

SUMMARY:No Borders in the NHS! Week of Action\, 23-27 October
DESCRIPTION:The Hostile Environment is turning the NHS into the new frontier of border control. Join us as we take action against patient charging and demand an end to borders in the NHS! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHostile Environment immigration policies are undermining the founding principles of the NHS. People are turned away from the healthcare they need. People are turned away from the healthcare they need. Immigration checks are becoming normalised in receptions and wards across the country. NHS hospitals routinely share patient data with the Home Office. People are harassed by debt collectors for huge bills they will never be able to pay.  \n\n\n\nSave the dates! No Borders In The NHS: Week of Action\, 23-27 October. People all over the country will take action across five themed days of action\, more info to follow! \n\n\n\nWe must remember all those whose lives have been devastated by border controls in healthcare\, continue to resist through collective organising in hospitals and workplaces\, and stand in solidarity with all those who are impacted by the hostile environment. Join us! \n\n\n\nNo Borders In The NHS: Week of Action\, 23 – 27 October\n\n\n\nPeople all over the country will take action across five themed days.\n\n\n\nSaturday 23rd – Remember and Resist!\n\n\n\nWe begin by remembering and honouring all those whose lives have been destroyed by racist Hostile Environment policies. October 23rd marks four years since the introduction of upfront charging for migrants in the NHS\, and two years since the deaths of 39 Vietnamese migrants who were found in a lorry in Essex. \n\n\n\nToday we remember Nasar Ullah Khan\, who died after being denied treatment for heart failure. We remember Elfreda Spencer\, who died because she could not pay £30\,000 upfront for chemotherapy. We remember Kelema Mulat\, who died following a 6 week delay in breast cancer treatment. We remember Elvis\, who died of coronavirus without help because he was too scared of being charged or deported if he came forward for treatment. We remember all whose lives have been made disposable at the hands of Britain’s hostile border controls—their bravery\, their struggles to survive and their campaigns for a better world. \n\n\n\nJoin campaign groups across the country holding street stalls and vigils: \n\n\n\nLondon: \n\n\n\n\n12 noon – 1pm @ Lewisham Hospital A&E\, SE13. With Save Lewisham Hospital Campaign\, Lewisham Refugee and Migrant Network and Lewisham Citizens\n\n\n\n12 noon @ Whitechapel Underground Station. With Tower Hamlets Keep Our NHS Public\n\n\n\n12 noon @ Dalston Farmers Market\, St Paul’s Church\, N16. With Hackney Patients Not Passports\, Hackney Keep Our NHS Public\, Akwaaba\, and Feminist Fightback\n\n\n\n6pm @ Walthamstow Town Square\, E17. With Waltham Forest Patients Not Passports\, Waltham Forest Save Our NHS\, and Waltham Forest Migrant Action\n\n\n\n\nBrighton & Hove: \n\n\n\n\n5.30pm @ Peace Statue\, Hove Lawns\, Hove. With Brighton Medact\n\n\n\n\nManchester: \n\n\n\n\nMidday @ St. Mary’s Hospital\, Oxford Road (opposite the Whitworth Gallery)\, Manchester\, M13. With Greater Manchester Patients Not Passports\, Manchester Keep our NHS Public\, Medact Manchester\, and The Greater Manchester Immigraiton Aid Unit\n\n\n\nRally against the Nationality & Borders Bill. 2pm @ St Peter’s Square\, Manchester\, M2 5PD. With NW Unison\, NW NEU\, Greater Immigration Aid Unit\, Lancashire Association Trades Union Councils(LATUC)\, Greater Manchester Association Trades Union Councils\, NW Unison Black Members Committee\, NW TUC Black Members Committee\, Status Now\, and RAPAR.\n\n\n\n\nSun 24th – Free for All Forever: No to Privatisation\n\n\n\nThe introduction of Hostile Environment immigration policies into the NHS goes hand in hand with a wider project of privatising our healthcare system and erosion of its founding principle: that healthcare is a right and should be available to everyone\, regardless of ability to pay or where you’re from. The 2017 introduction of upfront charging in the NHS marked one of the most profound changes since it was established\, forcing NHS Trust to withhold care from people that cannot pay. The new Health and Care Bill\, currently being debated in Parliament will further open the door to privatisation and the undermining of our health system as we know it. \n\n\n\nRead this article by Keep Our NHS Public campaigner\, Alia Butt\, and help us share Docs Not Cops’ video outlining what is happening to the NHS.  \n\n\n\nMon 25th – Solidarity Knows No Borders: End the Hostile Environment\n\n\n\nToday we stand in solidarity with everyone impacted by the Hostile Environment and the racism of border controls. From schools\, to housing\, to healthcare\, the Hostile Environment seeks to destroy lives and undermine access to vital public services. At the same time\, the Government’s new Borders & Nationality Bill – also known as the #AntiRefugeeBill – seeks to create a two tier system for people seeking safety\, normalise offshore migrant prisons\, and limit migrants’ access to justice.  \n\n\n\nToday we will highlight that the immigration system is not broken – it is violent and hostile by design. We will stand with all campaigning for an end to the Hostile Environment in its entirety. \n\n\n\nIn London\, there will be a street stall outside St Thomas’ Hospital to talk to NHS staff about The Hostile Environment and how it will impact their work: \n\n\n\n\n7:30pm – 9pm @ St Thomas’ Hospital\, Westminster Bridge entrance\, SE1. With Lambeth and Southwark Patients Not Passports\n\n\n\n\nIn Sheffield\, there’ll be a street stall outside the Royal Hallamshire to talk to NHS staff about the Hostile Environment\, raise awareness about the Justice for Simba campaign\, and find out how to get more involved with the movement for migrant justice: \n\n\n\n\n4pm @ Royal Hallamshire Hospital\, Sheffield\, S10. With Medact Sheffield\, The Justice for Simba Campaign\, South Yorkshire Migration and Asylum Action Group\n\n\n\n\nIn Newcastle\, there’ll be a street stall outside Royal Victoria Infirmary to talk to NHS staff about The Hostile Environment and how it will impact their work: \n\n\n\n\n8am – 9:30am\, Monday 25th @ Royal Victoria Infirmary\, Newcastle\, NE1. With Keep Our NHS Public North East and Medact North East\n\n\n\n\nTuesday 26th – Organise To Win\n\n\n\nThe Hostile Environment seeks to turn those who  care and support the most marginalised in our society into border guards. This is what we must remember when we build our campaigns against racist immigration controls in our public services. The Department of Health will only listen when we organise in our workplaces and in our communities\, to raise collective awareness about what is happening under the Hostile Environment and together refuse to be complicit in this system. \n\n\n\nIt will take all of us to win. That means everybody the Hostile Environment tries to recruit as a border guard\, we must now recruit to our campaign: to be fighters for justice and to stand up for everyone’s right to healthcare. NHS workers have a particular role to play to advocate for patients facing increasing barriers to care and to protect the universal principles that underpin the NHS. \n\n\n\nLook out for a list of street stalls and leafleting at hospitals and town centres near you\, with information about how you can join the campaign wherever you are. \n\n\n\nLondon: \n\n\n\n\n7:30am – 9am @ St Thomas’ Hospital\, Westminster Bridge entrance\, London SE1. With Lambeth and Southwark Patients Not Passports.\n\n\n\n\nLeeds: \n\n\n\n\n7:30 – 9am @ Leeds Infirmary\, Jubilee Wing main entrance\, Leeds\, LS1. With Leeds Keep Our NHS Public\n\n\n\n\nBrighton: \n\n\n\n\n7.45am and 4.45pm @ Royal Sussex County Hospital\, BN2\n\n\n\n4.45pm @ Millview Hospital\, BN3\n\n\n\nTime TBC @ Princess Royal Hospital\, BR6\n\n\n\nTime TBC @ Eastbourne District General Hospital\, BN21\n\n\n\n\nWednesday 27th – No Borders In Healthcare\n\n\n\nOur NHS was founded on the principle of universal healthcare\, free at the point of use for everyone – regardless of background\, nationality\, or ability to pay. The government’s Hostile Environment means this is no longer the case. What we see as a result is people deterred from seeking the care they need\, outright denied treatment on the basis of the documents they have\, questioned about their entitlement to care because of how they look\, the colour of their skin\, or their so called ‘foreign sounding name’\, and people being forced to choose between incurring huge debts\, regularising their immigration status\, or their good health.  \n\n\n\nToday we join forces across the country to make our message clear: no borders in healthcare. The NHS must treat #PatientsNotPassports. \n\n\n\nIf you’re in Newcastle join their banner drop: \n\n\n\n\n8:30am @ The Dome\, Whitley Bay\, Newcastle. With North East Keep Our NHS Public\, and Medact North East\n\n\n\n\nIn Liverpool\, campaigners from Merseyside Solidarity Knows No Borders will be out in the town centre talking to people about the impact of NHS charging and how to join the Patients Not Passports campaign: \n\n\n\n\nMidday @ Liverpool Town Centre (close to Iceland on Kensington). With Merseyside Solidarity Knows No Borders.\n\n\n\n\nIn Bristol\, there’ll be a demo in the town centre calling for an end to NHS Charging and the Hostile Environment: \n\n\n\n\n5pm – 7pm @ The Sails\, by Primark\, Broadmead\, BS1. With Bistol Patients Not Passports and Bristol Medact\n\n\n\n\nWe’ll let you know how to participate online on the day! Get in touch at info@act.patientsnotpassports.co.uk to help get the message out on Wednesday morning.

SUMMARY:Health blocs @ Global Day of Action for Climate Justice
DESCRIPTION:What’s happening?\nThis Autumn\, the Decarbonisation and Economic Strategy Bill (otherwise known as the Green New Deal Bill) returns to Parliament. The Bill aims to end licensing for new fossil fuel projects\, promote the rapid decarbonisation of our economy\, support healthy food systems\, safeguard natural habitats\, restore biodiversity and tackle inequality\, all the while investing in millions of good quality green jobs! \nThe Bill presents a unique opportunity for the promotion of both public and planetary health ─ one in which the health community has a crucial role to play. The changes we’re calling for are not small. To win\, we need to build public support to put pressure on MPs to do the right thing. \nWhat will the action involve?\nThis action will involve setting up a local ‘Climate Clinic’ to engage the public on the health impacts of the climate crisis and encourage them to take action by signing a postcard to their MP asking that they support the Green New Deal Bill. \nWe’re encouraging groups to run their Climate Clinics on either Saturday 25th September or Saturday 2nd October – but if this isn’t possible for you/your group\, please do still sign up\, it’ll be okay to run it on another day that suits you. \nWe’ve produced an action guide that explains the step-by-step process of how to set up your own Climate Clinic. Additionally\, we will be running training calls on 13th and 27th September going over the process of setting up a Climate Clinic and how to have persuasive conversations with members of the public. \nSign up now to join the action!\nSignup for this action has now closed!

SUMMARY:‘Kill the Bill’ Research Group Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The government has misleadingly branded the dangerous PCSC Bill a “public health approach” to combating serious violence.

SUMMARY:Briefing launch: The Public Health Case Against the Policing Bill
DESCRIPTION:The public health case against the policing bill – Briefing launch event\, 15 November 2021\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWatch this video on YouTube\n\n\nThe government has misleadingly branded the racist and dangerous PCSC (Policing) Bill a “public health approach” to combating serious violence. But health workers in the Medact Research Network debunk these claims in our new briefing The Public Health Case Against the Policing Bill. \nWritten to support the huge groundswell of opposition to this bill in the #KillTheBill movement\, the briefing explains why the measures in the Bill – greater police powers\, repression of protest\, harsher prison sentences\, erosion of confidentiality and increased criminalisation of Gypsy and Traveller communities – will actually harm public health  and entrench discrimination. \nWe aim to articulate and amplify radical public health voices against the Policing Bill’s approach and explore potential alternatives. \nYou’ll hear from health workers who are members of our Research Network and involved in creation of the briefing\, and we’re thrilled to host four fantastic speakers who will discuss public health in the context of crime\, policing and prison: \nLola Olufemi – Lola is a black feminist writer and researcher\, author of Feminism Interrupted: Disrupting Power and Experiments in Imagining Otherwise. Alongside writing\, she is a member of ‘bare minimum‘\, an interdisciplinary anti-work arts collective. Lola also facilitates reading groups/workshops\, occasionally curates\, and is volunteer co-ordinator at the Feminist Library in South London. \nKelsey M – Kelsey is a feminist\, abolitionist organiser based in London\, resisting state violence and working to explore and build transformative justice and community-led responses to violence. As a facilitator with grassroots collectives she delivers workshops exploring community accountability\, bystander intervention\, power\, and tools for campaigning and movement building.  \nChelsea McDonagh – Chelsea is a researcher\, Irish Traveller activist and writer. She speaks on a wide range of issues affecting Gypsy and Traveller people including education\, health\, policy and politics. Chelsea is one of the co-founders of the Rom Belong programme\, a KCL Widening Participation programme for Gypsy\, Roma and Traveller pupils and is passionate about improving opportunities for young people. \nKavian Kulasabanathan – Kavian is a paediatric A&E doctor and researcher at the University of Oxford. His interests span socio-political determinants of health\, particularly pertaining to race and class\, alongside community-centered models of care. Kavian organises with PHM-UK and Race & Health collective. \nPresenters covered topics such as the future implications of the PCSC bill\, different visions of public health\, new approaches to care\, and approaches to ‘serious violence’ and socio-economic issues that don’t rely on punitive or carceral responses. There will be lots of time for audience questions!

SUMMARY:Alternative Training on Prevent in Healthcare #4
DESCRIPTION:Alternative Training on Prevent in Healthcare #4 – Nov 24 2021\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWatch this video on YouTube\n\n\nIt 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 fourth in our series of online Alternative Trainings on Prevent to learn more.\nThis training will seek to shed light on some unanswered questions about Prevent. We will hear from: \n\nLatifa Akay—writer\, producer and Head of Collective Care at Act Build Change. Prior to this\, Latifa worked as Director of Education at Maslaha. She is a trustee at the Inclusive Mosque Initiative\,\nAmeen—a GP in east London\, and a member of Medact’s Securitisation of Health group\,\nMashal Iftikhar—a member of Medact’s Securitisation of Health Group and an NHS doctor training in psychiatry. She is passionate about health equity in mental illness and the intersection of criminal justice with mental health services.\n& more to be announced!\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:H4GND Big November Meeting
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday 6th November\, Health workers and students across the UK took to the streets in their 100s as part of the COP 26 Coalition Global Day of Action. In 17 cities and towns\, we marched as Health Blocs demanding that health justice means climate justice.  \nWe also came together for The People’s Health Hearing as part of the COP 26 Coalition’s People’s Summit for Climate Justice. We heard directly from people and communities at the frontlines of climate violence\, who face the worst impacts whilst contributing the least to the crisis. It was a deeply moving space as we connected with allies across the world\, who shared the health impacts of our extractive economic system. We concluded the hearing with hope as listeners shared their visions for health and climate justice.  \nThis is just the start. We are building the health movement for a transformative green new deal\, one that calls to cut injustice and cut carbon to real zero. Now is the time for us to come together\, to share our stories\, our reflections and strategise for how we continue to build power for health and climate justice.  \nFor the Health for a Green New Deal November BIG Meeting\, we’ll hear updates from all the local groups that have taken actions\, the COP 26 observers and reflections from the People’s Health Hearing. Join us! \n[Registration has now closed]
