SUMMARY:Alternative Training on Prevent
DESCRIPTION:It is possible to create a society in which our collective safety and wellbeing are prioritised. Developing trusting\, healthy relationships between patients and health workers is essential to this work. However\, the Prevent Duty – with the government’s stated aim of identifying “vulnerability to radicalisation” – compromises all of this.  \n\n\n\nAs we’ve outlined in our work\, Prevent is a source of harm and increased marginalisation\, particularly for Muslim and racialised communities\, as well as those with mental health conditions.  \n\n\n\nSo\, why 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 the harms of Prevent in safeguarding training? \n\n\n\nJoin us for this series of Alternative Training on Prevent to learn more\, and find out how you can add your voice to the movement to end the Prevent Duty. Together we call for #CareNotSurvelliance! \n\n\n\nThis event is particularly aimed at people who work or are training in\, study\, or who have worked in health – though everyone from our movement for health justice\, interested in learning more\, is welcome! If you have any questions or concerns ahead of this event – feel free to email me\, sarahlasoye@medact.org.

SUMMARY:Medact Bloc @ Shut DSEI Down
DESCRIPTION:Medact is going to the upcoming demo – Shut DSEI Down!  \n\n\n\nWhat is DSEI? \n\n\n\nOne of the world’s largest arms fairs\, Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI)\, will be back at London’s ExCeL Centre from Tuesday 9 September to Friday 12 September 2025. Stop the Arms Fair organises a programme of events\, actions and mobilisations before and during DSEI.  \n\n\n\nMedact are mobilising on Tuesday 9th September – alongside Health Workers for a Free Palestine UK\, and 100 other campaign groups and organisations – to add our voice to a broad coalition of organisations and groups standing firmly against: DSEI\, the arms industry\, and the UK government’s egregious role in upholding the military-industrial complex\, fuelling war and genocide.  \n\n\n\nHow to join us! \n\n\n\nRegister to join us so we know you’re coming! Members of the Medact staff team will be present (spot our banner!) and you can join this announcement-only WhatsApp group ahead of time to receive updates in the run up about precise arrival time and meeting points! \n\n\n\nWelfare \n\n\n\nPolice presence is almost certain at this mobilisation. This may feel worrying\, especially if it’s your first time at a demonstration like this.  We highly recommend staying together as a group\, and following the advice of Medact staff present to ensure against any unwanted encounters with the police.  \n\n\n\nRemember\, taking action together can be a joyous\, powerful and affirming thing to do! And if you’re new to Medact\, it’ll be a great way to meet people already involved.  \n\n\n\nWe recommend wearing sturdy shoes\, bringing snacks\, water\, warm waterproof clothes\, and a fully charged phone. If you have any questions or concerns ahead of the day – you can email our Peace and Security Campaign Lead\, Sarah – sarahlasoye@medact.org\, or office@medact.org.

SUMMARY:Welcome call: join the No Palantir in the NHS campaign
DESCRIPTION:Effective organising often comes from workers and communities coming together to fight for their demands. Palestinian health unions have called for our solidarity and action to end the complicity of our institutions in the genocide. Following recent wins at the BMA Annual Representative Meeting\, health workers have more power than ever to organise in their workplace for Palestine. \n\n\n\nHealth Workers for a Free Palestine UK’s (HW4FP UK) current campaign is focused on a US-based military\, AI and surveillance company called Palantir that supplies its technologies to the Israeli Defence Ministry whilst it orchestrates genocide in Gaza. They also supply technology to ICE for mass deportations in the US and provide police forces with ‘predictive policing’ technology. This company was recently awarded a £330 million contract with NHS England to manage confidential patient data on a national scale.We say “no” to Palantir in our NHS. Attend this onboarding call hosted by HW4FP to find out about and involve yourself in the No Palantir in the NHS campaign and organise against privatisation\, surveillance and genocide. We will go through the strategy and history of the campaign\, as well as organising tips and help you to set up campaigns in your local area.Join the worker-led movement to end complicity in genocide!

SUMMARY:Trans Health Justice
DESCRIPTION:Trans people seeking gender-affirming healthcare are routinely confronted with pathologisation and the slow violence of years-long waiting lists. In the past five years\, attacks on trans healthcare in the UK have intensified: \n\n\n\n\nThe NHS has halted prescription of puberty blockers for under-18s in the context of gender-affirming care\n\n\n\nAdult trans healthcare services remain chronically underfunded and difficult to access\n\n\n\nA recent Supreme Court ruling undermines the right to bodily autonomy and self-determination\n\n\n\n\nThese attacks are not isolated – they’re part of a wider rollback of health services and human rights in the UK.For this online event\, we’ll explore the state of trans health and trans rights in the UK\, how they’re shaped by social and economic determinants like housing and austerity and what resistance rooted in solidarity and justice can look like.We’ll hear from: \n\n\n\n\nJack Doyle\, historian & trans health advocate\n\n\n\nFae Fulconis\, athlete and campaigner\n\n\n\nShiraz Hussain\, member of rs21\n\n\n\n\nThis event is especially valuable for health workers\, but it’s open to everyone – so please share widely!This is part of Medact’s Learning for Action series that aims to equip us with the knowledge and skills we need to win a more just world.

SUMMARY:Mould is Political Screening – Sheffield
DESCRIPTION:Over 2 million people in the UK are living in homes with black mould – a serious risk to their health and wellbeing. But it’s not tenants who have gotten us into this situation –  it’s politicians. For too long\, politicians have prioritised landlords’ wealth over people’s health. Now\, we’re saying: enough.A new film from the Homes for Us alliance\, Mould is Political\, shows the impact of black mould on one family\, and how ordinary people are coming together to demand change.Here in Sheffield\, far too many people are living in cold\, damp and unsafe homes – making them sick and causing constant stress\, all due to political failure and profiteering landlords. \n\n\n\nJoin Medact Sheffield and Sheffield Tenants Union for a screening of Mould is Political\, followed by food and a discussion about the issues people are facing here in Sheffield\, and how health workers\, tenants and community members can come together to organise for decent\, safe housing for all.

SUMMARY:Alternative Training on Prevent
DESCRIPTION:It is possible to create a society in which our collective safety and wellbeing are prioritised. Developing trusting\, healthy relationships between patients and health workers is essential to this work. However\, the Prevent Duty – with the government’s stated aim of identifying “vulnerability to radicalisation” – compromises all of this.  \n\n\n\nAs we’ve outlined in our work\, Prevent is a source of harm and increased marginalisation\, particularly for Muslim and racialised communities\, as well as those with mental health conditions.  \n\n\n\nSo\, why 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 the harms of Prevent in safeguarding training? \n\n\n\nJoin us for this series of Alternative Training on Prevent to learn more\, and find out how you can add your voice to the movement to end the Prevent Duty. Together we call for #CareNotSurvelliance! \n\n\n\nThis event is particularly aimed at people who work or are training in\, study\, or who have worked in health – though everyone from our movement for health justice\, interested in learning more\, is welcome! If you have any questions or concerns ahead of this event – feel free to email me\, sarahlasoye@medact.org.

SUMMARY:Securitisation of Health group meeting: June
DESCRIPTION:What is the securitisation of health? \n\n\n\nA number of policing and counter-extremism measures are embedded by the government into UK health services\, which at times require health workers to work closely with the police and other security agencies. \n\n\n\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. \n\n\n\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 here. \n\n\n\nAbout the group\n\n\n\nThe Securitisation of Health group is for health workers interested in working on these issues through campaigning\, lobbying and research. New members are welcome!  \n\n\n\nIf you have any questions or concerns about attending\, please email our Campaign Lead Sarah Lasoye at sarahlasoye@medact.org. \n\n\n\nThis event will be held online on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Don't Bank on The Bomb! UK – National Network Meeting June 2025
DESCRIPTION:At Don’t Bank on the Bomb UK\, we are building a nationwide movement to pressure banks and financial institutions to withdraw their support for the nuclear weapons industry\, by demanding they move their money away from companies that manufacture and trade in weapons of mass destruction. Join our second network meeting on Tuesday 3rd June 2025 to hear about the incredible organising that has happened on nuclear divestment and campaign developments. \n\n\n\nIf you have any questions about the campaign or this event\, get in touch with Zahraa\, our DBOTB Project Coordinator: zahraakapasi@medact.org. \n\n\n\nIn a world ablaze with escalating conflicts\, global instability\, and worsening humanitarian crises\, the threat of nuclear weapons to human life is mounting. And yet\, every year\, billions of pounds flow through UK banks\, pension funds\, and other financial institutions that invest in companies producing nuclear weapons\, making the threat of nuclear war even more real.  \n\n\n\nAt Don’t Bank on the Bomb UK\, we are building a nationwide movement to pressure banks and financial institutions to withdraw their support for the nuclear weapons industry\, by demanding they move their money away from companies that manufacture and trade in weapons of mass destruction. \n\n\n\nWhether you’re an experienced activist or just learning about the issue\, Don’t Bank on the Bomb UK is the perfect place to join others committed to building a safer\, nuclear-free world.  \n\n\n\nJoin our third network meeting on Tuesday 3rd June 2025 as we spotlight how campaigns across movements are using divestment to drive change\, and how we can support each other in our calls for accountability. We are excited to be joined by guest speakers from the Palestine Solidarity Campaign\, Demilitarise Education and Green Future Wealth Management\, who will share their experiences of campaigning for ethical finance and institutional accountability.
