We have long fought this violence and in these moments it’s vital that we continue to stand together.

History has shown time and time again that we outnumber them, we out organise them, and we win when we look after each other: https://t.co/4sn4IjhXFQ

"She said it was her first NHS job in the UK and that as she was dependent on the trust for a visa, she did not want to complain to the police"

The hostile environment preventing action on assault.
Migrants' rights are workers' rights and attacking them attacks us all.

HAPPENING NOW! Hundreds of health workers are blockading the entrance to NHS England’s headquarters in central London, demanding the cancellation of its contract with Palantir, which supplies advanced technology to Israel’s military and supports the genocide.

[Workers for a Free Palestine @Workers4Pal]

🚨 HAPPENING NOW 🚨

Health Workers For a Free Palestine are blockading NHS England HQ to protest their contract with Palantir, a US spy tech company that is resourcing Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people.

Cancel the contract! ❌
No genocide enablers in the #NHS!

WATCH: In our new documentary, Fatima explains how damp and mould are making her family sick.
So many people are going through this because politicians choose to protect landlords and their assets over the rest of us.
Mould is Political!

A strong letter from @TheBMA to the UK gov calling for a ceasefire and humanitarian aid. More UK health institutions must join the call – in solidarity with healthcare workers in Palestine – and press the UK government to do what it must to end this health catastrophe.

🆕📖 New in @TheLancet: 'Medical duty and advocacy for Palestine'

"Another cornerstone of our activism is our solidarity with medical colleagues in Gaza. [...] Solidarity demands a moral and political response to injustice and suffering."

[Medact @Medact]

We are deeply concerned about escalating violence and tensions between the UK government and the Houthi movement in Yemen following last week’s airstrikes in response to Houthi targeting of Israel-linked ships in an attempt to force a ceasefire in Gaza.

[Migrants Organise @migrantsorg]

2/4 Whilst we wait for more information, we stand steadfast in calling for justice and stand in solidarity with our communities as we demand a full closure of Bibby Stockholm.

The Bibby Stockholm will never be an appropriate place for people who are here to rebuild their lives.

[Migrants Organise @migrantsorg]

We are devastated to hear that a man on the Bibby Stockholm has died. Our thoughts are with his loved ones & all those still forced by this government to live on the barge.

This is a stark reminder that people here in search of protection deserve safe homes in our communities🧵
