SUMMARY:Emergency protest - Stop the persecution of Muslims in India
DESCRIPTION:Citizenship rules have been changed in India by the ruling Hindu Nationalist Party. The amendments made give preferential treatment to certain religious groups\, explicitly barring Muslims\, to gain citizenship in India. All this has led to communal violence against Muslims\, who have had their homes\, businesses\, mosques and families targeted\, most recently in Delhi. \nIt is important that the international community stands in solidarity with Muslim communities against this persecution and the recent spate of deadly violence in Delhi\, before it escalates even further.   \nJoin us at this emergency protest this Saturday 29 February outside India House/ the Indian High Commission in London. Medact staff members will be in attendance from 4:30-6:30pm – and we would love it if members joined us. Address details can be found below.  \nThis protest has been called by South Asia Solidarity Group\, SOAS India Society and South Asian Students Against Fascism \nIf you are planning on joining us at this protest\, you can call us on the day to find out where we are – 07851 325 817

SUMMARY:Medact Meet & Greet ahead of Lucas Plan screening at MAC Birmingham
DESCRIPTION:On March 1st\, screenings are being organised up and down the country for the launch of The Plan ─ a new feature length documentary following the inspiring story of a group of workers at Lucas Aerospace in the 1970s\, who\, facing redundancies and industrial decline\, came together to make a plan to keep jobs by using the company’s technology and their own skills to make things society needed\, instead of military equipment. \n \nTHE PLAN Trailer from Steve Sprung on Vimeo. \nAt Medact\, we are really excited about how campaigns such as the New Lucas plan and the Green New Deal are pushing for just transitions from arms and fossil fuel industries to more beneficial and sustainable industries ─ reshaping our economy to one that promotes health and well-being at the same time as equity and social justice. \nIn the run up to our #HealthJustice gathering in Birmingham on 27th-29th March\, we will be hosting a meet & greet alongside the screening of The Plan at MAC Birmingham. Come along and talk to Ben from the office about the role for health workers in advocating for a just industrial transition\, our new Medact Birmingham group\, our upcoming conference\, and how you can get involved. And if you can\, stay for the film! \nBen will be around in the MAC cafe before the film starts from 1 – 2pm\, and again during the interval 4 – 4.30pm. Feel free to drop by at any point for however long! \nLook out for someone with leaflets – or call/text me on 07708260962 if you can’t find me! \nLinks\nBook your ticket for the screening and Q&A at MAC Birmingham \nRead New Lucas Plan campaigner Sam Mason’s piece on defence diversification for the Medact blog \nOther launch screenings on Sunday 1st March around the UK\n\nCambridge Arts Picturehouse\nLiverpool Picturehouse at FACT\nLondon Bertha Dochouse\nNorwich Cinema City Picturehouse\nSheffield Showroom\n\nFor details of how to book see the cinema’s website or The Plan on Facebook

SUMMARY:The Social Justice Approach to Coronavirus
DESCRIPTION:In this time of crisis\, we need to keep the attention to public health measures that aren’t only good to control the virus outbreak but also extend to ensure that justice and protection is provided to those who are in the most vulnerable and precarious situations in our society. \nWe will be hosting a Youtube Live webinar to discuss the implications of the Budget and the wider effects of health and economic inequalities\, how they combine to increase the vulnerability to the Coronavirus outbreak\, and how we need to go beyond disease prevention to address the systemic conditions from which poor health and inequality emerge from. \nJoin the webinar by following this link: https://youtu.be/jZvWvk6_gos

SUMMARY:Medact Gathering 2020 [POSTPONED]
DESCRIPTION:Health Justice 2020\n\n\n\nThe health community as a force for change\n\n\n\nFriday 27th – Sunday 29th March\, 2020 Postponed\n\n\n\nAston University\, Birmingham\n\n\n\nAfter careful consideration and consultation\, we have now decided to postpone our upcoming Health Justice conference in light of the current situation regarding Coronavirus. \n\n\n\nWe are obviously really disappointed that we can’t go ahead as we were looking forward to seeing you in Birmingham\, but we recognise that the health community is currently working at full capacity to respond to the virus and there are particular risks to a mass gathering of health workers from across the UK. \n\n\n\nThere has been so much energy building up around the conference and we want to make sure to carry that forward ─ we hope to be in touch soon with a rescheduled date for later this year as soon as we can. \n\n\n\nMedact’s 2020 Gathering will explore the interlinked societal and political structures which damage health and discussing the ways in which health workers can use their skills and social mandate to create change for good. \n\n\n\nThe programme will be made up of a range of different sessions covering our key areas of work\, across streams on Access to Healthcare\, Peace & Security\, Climate Justice & Health\, and Economic Justice. \n\n\n\nThere will be ample opportunity to connect with other Medact Members and supporters\, to learn from the campaigning work happening across our movement. You will also have the opportunity to hear from fantastic keynote speakers\, attend panel discussions and workshops\, as well as gain key skills to further your campaigning work. \n\n\n\nWhat’s on at the conference?\n\n\n\nThis year’s conference will be made up of streams of sessions covering the broad range of Medact’s current work. Attendees will be free to choose to focus on a key area of interest\, or take part in sessions on multiple topics you’d like to learn more about. \n\n\n\nView the draft programme!

SUMMARY:International Day of Action Against Commercialisation of Health
DESCRIPTION:On World Health Day\, decentralised actions are being organised throughout Europe. For the fifth consecutive year\, we call on citizens\, health workers\, associations\, etc. to come together on the Day of Action against the Commercialisation of Health. \nBecause of the COVID-19 pandemic we have cancelled all gatherings and actions with physical contact. \nWe therefore call on every citizen to demonstrate their support by “spreading solidarity\, not the virus”. \nHow? With a “white sheet” action on April 7: \n\nHang a white sheet with a slogan in a visible place or make a poster at home\nTake a picture of yourself with your messages\nPost it on social media – add the hashtag #health4all and address it to political leaders.\n\nFind posters\, video\, press releases and social media accounts for the White Sheet action on 7 April to defend a health system that is publicly funded and accessible for all\, outside of market logics – on the website: http://europe-health-network.net/
