PEOPLE POWER WORKS ✊

Big news! @bma.org.uk now advising doctors not to engage with Palantir's NHS data platform! They say there must be a "complete break from Palantir technologies in the NHS", due to the company's track record, e.g. with ICE, and the risk to patient trust. www.bmj.com/content/392/...

OUR CAMPAIGN IS WORKING 🪧 We are delighted to announce that some nursing assistants have had salary increases to bring them in line with the new government thresholds. This means their jobs are safe and they can remain in the UK! 🎉 THIS WOULDN’T HAVE HAPPENED WITHOUT YOU. 🧵

A privilege to attend the launch of Hostile Housing last week! 🏠🔒 To maximise their profits, private companies are delivering a system based on containment not care, harming the health of people seeking asylum. Enough is enough. It's time to take a stand.

📢 @andyburnham.bsky.social agrees with us. Why doesn’t MFT? Thanks to everyone who came out on Wednesday to oppose this injustice. But to win, we need even more support. Share this post to raise awareness of the NHS staff facing deportation due to cruel visa rules. 🚨

📣Today we have launched the #EndDestitution campaign📣 migrantdestitution.co.uk/end-destitut... ‼️The government’s latest plans threaten to force yet more people in our communities into destitution. We must stand against this. 1/

🗣️ Say it louder for the people at the back: Let’s make our campaign impossible to ignore. ✊⤵️

The Government is introducing the biggest immigration overhaul in 50 years. They want to make settling here harder than ever as part of a broader attack on migrants and refugees. Now, they're asking what YOU think of their plans. Use our guide & speak up today. www.praxis.org.uk/consultation...

“We are standing at a crossroads: between a country that chooses fear, and a country that chooses freedom. Between cruelty as government policy—and solidarity as strategy.”🔥 Read our reflections from the 2025 Solidarity Knows No Borders Organising Summit: www.migrantsorganise.org/solidarity-k...

Detention is state violence. It devastates health. It must be abolished. The National Day of Solidarity is a vital moment for growing the movement, raising awareness and building our collective power. But the fight for justice continues every single day. #TheseWallsMustFall

Scrapping Indefinite Leave to Remain or making it harder to get - like the Government has just announced - will devastate our NHS. It punishes people who’ve already been part of our communities for years. Indefinite Leave to Remain is the backbone of belonging. youtube.com/shorts/aHTh0...

We’ll be at Migrant Connections Festival at the end of this month! Alongside amazing music, food, dance and art, our stall will share clear advice on your healthcare rights in the UK and how to access care. Come say hello, pick up resources, and join the celebration! 🎶💃

Scrap the Surcharge! ❌ Borders in our health service take many forms: ▪️ The charging regulations, which see people charged up to 150% of the cost of secondary care ▪️ Identity checks ▪️ Data sharing between the NHS + Home Office And the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS) 🧵

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Dr Pious Nyandoro, tireless campaigner against the Hostile Environment and the colonial systems of oppression that uphold it. To ensure Dr Pious receives a fitting send-off, please donate via the link below 👇 donate.stripe.com/eVq7sL8LC7aW...

Borders in healthcare are rooted in the border industrial complex – itself rooted in racial capitalism. Abolishing the former rests on abolishing the latter. A sizeable task, for sure – but one that starts with everyday acts of resistance. A GMPNP member explains more 👇

Each one brings one. This is how we grow a movement. How much time do you invest in building relationships and listening to each other? Everyone has a role to play! Head to #SolidarityKnowsNoBorders resources sknb.org/resources/

As promised, HW4FP put together a document with everything you need to get started – including the slides, key resources, and instructions on how to join the campaign: shorturl.at/yJDH7

Registration is officially OPEN! ✨ We're so excited to invite you to Medact's All Member Assembly 2025 – happening Friday 3rd October, 6-9pm both in-person at Pelican House, Bethnal Green (London) and online via Zoom. www.medact.org/event/ama2025/

💬 “Together, let's erase borders and ink new stories of community care.” Read our thoughts on how to dismantle the Hostile Environment through the power of narrative 👇

Narrating Against Borders! 📚✊ Back in June, we were at the University of Manchester exploring the role of storytelling in dismantling the Hostile Environment. Stories have been effectively harnessed by architects of hostility to entrench borders within all walks of life... 🧵

The BMA said NO to Palantir today!

We are calling on the government to scrap NHS charging and the Immigration Health Surcharge. Our full campaign & statement to the government is here: www.project17.org.uk/systems-chan... Please share our video and ways to support our campaign below! Thank you! ⬇️⬇️

This #RefugeeWeek, we asked our team: How does community support your health? Because for people rebuilding their lives after dangerous journeys to the UK, community is everything - a source of strength, care, and healing. Thank you for being part of that kind of community 💙🧡

Everyday we are confronted by the relentless brutality and weight of multiple protracted crisises. We can’t ignore our rage, but we won’t be consumed by it. "Hope is a Discipline" is a short #SolidarityKnowsNoBorders film resource for changemakers. Watch with us 🎥 www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8AD...

We will be at Feel Good Club in Manchester tomorrow Friday 13 from 10:00 to 18:00, with a pop-up newsroom. Come down and see us, pitch a story, or find out how to get involved with The Meteor. themeteor.org/2025/06/11/j...

🚨 CANCEL THE CONTRACT! 🚨 This morning, we joined the demo outside the #NHSConfedExpo, calling for an immediate cancellation of Palantir’s contract. The NHS - the UK’s greatest achievement - is pouring hundreds of millions into a company that not only facilitates genocide, but brags about it. 🧵

1 in 3 children living in poverty are migrant children. This is not a coincidence. Hostile immigration rules drive child poverty. Tomorrow, MPs will debate child poverty and No Recourse to Public Funds. Make sure your MP is there - send them an email NOW! act.praxis.org.uk/email-MP-NRP...

Manchester folks - this Friday (13th June), join our friends at @refugeeaction.bsky.social & advocacy group RAS Voice for a panel discussion on Refugee Action’s briefing, ‘Asylum in the UK: A Frontline for Racial Justice’, as part of 2025 Horizons Festival. Book ➡️ homemcr.org/whats-on/277...

Please sign this petition calling on @mancitycouncil.bsky.social to end discrimination in its housing service and improve the provision it gives to all those sleeping rough on the city’s streets. www.change.org/p/end-homele...

🚀NEW! Relationships are the foundation of our movements. But as anti-migrant policies and rhetoric seek to divide us, how do we stay energised and connected? We're excited to share 'Communities of Solidarity'- a film resource for building solidarity, power & hope ➡️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBeP...

We can't wait for this one! 🤩🩺 Sign up now 👇

We stand with the 1000+ lawyers who have signed this letter warning that genocide is being perpetrated against the people of Gaza, and urging the UK Government to use all available means to end the fighting in Gaza.

The PM's 'island of strangers' comments serve the same interests as the UK's border regime: to divide us and leave us fighting for scraps. But they will not succeed. Step by step, we will dismantle hostility and see solidarity prevail. Proud to sign @asylummatters.bsky.social's statement 👇

New GM Patients Not Passports post just dropped 🔥 Read about our contributions to a workshop on 'practices of hospitality through healthcare that resist the hostile environment for migrants in the UK'. 🩺
