[London Renters Union @LDNRentersUnion]

Do you love London? Then fight for it this Saturday.

Let's take back our city from the private developers and corporate giants who want to turn it into a playground for the rich.

18 April. 1pm. Soho Square Gardens.

[Medact @Medact]

“...ata seen by The BMJ suggest that pilots of the FDP, run at Chelsea and Westminster Foundation Trust and subsequently promoted as a Palantir success story, are flawed.”

[Medact @Medact]

When the NHS was founded, it was meant to work hand in hand with a housing system. Now, our health system and our health are suffering.

If we want to be healthy, we need to fight for housing.

Join the Health and Disability Justice Bloc!

New York just kicked Palantir out of its hospitals. We can do the same for the #NHS.

Parliament debates Palantir's contract this Wednesday - email your MP and ask them to attend ⬇️

[London Renters Union @LDNRentersUnion]

Our movement is uniting for the largest housing demonstration in a decade to demand affordable homes for all.

Be a part of it. 18 April 1PM. Soho Square Gardens.

[Medact @Medact]

We must be clear: any use of a nuclear weapon, including a smaller so-called ‘tactical’ nuke, will likely set off a chain reaction that the human race cannot survive.

[London Renters Union @LDNRentersUnion]

🚨 Meet point announcement! Assemble 1pm at Soho Square Gardens!

💥 Thousands of tenants. 60+ unions and grassroots campaigns. One message.

✊ Let's make housing affordable again.

[Just Treatment 💊 @JustTreatment]

We've spent years campaigning to get Palantir out of the #NHS. Now ministers are exploring triggering the break clause in its contract.

Palantir is a spytech company with no place handling our health data.

Use the break clause - share if you agree!

[Just Treatment 💊 @JustTreatment]

🚨Young people staged a protest outside @Meta's HQ demanded the company pay for its role in the youth mental health crisis.

[Harriet Williamson @harriepw]

A briefing by @Medact - endorsed by @GoodLawProject Privacy International @JustTreatment @CorpWatchUK @UTAW_uk & @AmnestyUK - has been sent to all NHS trust and ICB CEOs urging them NOT TO COMPLY with instructions to adopt Palantir’s Federated Data Platform.

[Amnesty Tech @AmnestyTech]

🚨@Amnesty supports the latest briefing by @Medact (an organization bringing together health workers in the UK) urging hospitals to not use Palantir software, demanding that NHS (National Health Services) England cancels the contract entirely. https://t.co/5s8xHKThae

[Erika Guevara Rosas @ErikaGuevaraR]

At @Amnesty, we stand with @Medact and partners in exposing why @PalantirTech is an unacceptable partner for @NHSEngland. The company has a long record of serious human rights concerns, from its role in abuses against migrants in the #USA to supplying AI technologies to the Israeli military and intelligence services implicated in #Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza.

We call on NHS England, the UK government, and all public institutions to use their leverage:
➡️ Responsibly divest from Palantir
➡️ Stop purchasing its products and services

These measures must stay in place until Palantir proves it is not contributing to genocide, apartheid, unlawful occupation, or other violations of international law.

[Medact @Medact]

We were in front of the Palantir offices in London this morning where NHS senior leaders were meeting the company that has no place in our health service!

"Workers, students, patients say: Palantir cannot stay."

[Medact @Medact]

We endorse this because safe, secure, and genuinely affordable housing is fundamental to health justice.

If we are serious about reducing health inequalities and advancing health justice, we must get serious about housing.

Brick by brick, home by home, so our health can thrive!

[Medact @Medact]

Sky-high rents are forcing people out of their homes and destroying our health.

Another housing system is possible - but we need to stand together and fight for it.

Join us in central London on 18 April to demand rent controls and social housing now.

[Medact @Medact]

This Saturday 7th March, @CNDuk and @STWuk have called a national demonstration in central London: Hands off Iran: Stop Trump’s Wars.

[Medact @Medact]

We call on the health community to take action, speak loudly against actions of the US and Israel, and call on the UK government to act to end the perpetration of this violence.

[Medact @Medact]

Medact research manager Hil Aked welcomed the Birmingham trust’s decision to withdraw from the programme, describing it as “unethical and Islamophobic”.

“Mental health workers should be providing patients with care, not spying on them for police.”

[Healing Justice Ldn @HJusticeLdn]

The politics of violence and healing are inseparable.

@Tarek_Younis_ interviewed 30 practitioners & trainees silenced for Palestine solidarity. Sharing the sensitive & underrepresented stories that demonstrate racist logics of British mental health care.

[Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament @CNDuk]

Just over a week to go until our national demo against Britain's nuclear expansion at RAF Marham!
