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... 🧵

🚨NEW REPORT from GMIAU coming out on Wednesday 9th July: "This system destroys you: Children trapped in adult asylum hotels by the Home Office." Follow us on socials to keep up to date with our publications and news.

WE’RE HIRING! 🌍 We're on the lookout for an experienced campaigner to lead our Climate Programme. Want to tackle public health issues by tackling the climate crisis? Then we want to hear from you! Know someone perfect for the role? Spread the word! www.medact.org/2025/jobs/va...

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'. 🩺

💬 “How have bordering practices in the NHS turned the health service into a hostile environment for migrants?” Is a question we’re well versed in answering. So on Tuesday, we attended a workshop at the University of Manchester in which academics and experts considered this question and more. 🧵

💬 “What does it mean to have something where the edges are not so sharp? Where the lines are more blurred and people can move freely and access healthcare?” These were just some of the questions we pondered at the #PatientsNotPassports National Gathering last weekend. 🧵

What a weekend💜 @migrantsorganise.bsky.social Huge love and thanks to everyone who joined us for the Patients Not Passports National Gathering 2025 – a beautiful few days of learning, sharing, planning, dancing, and building power together✊

Read about our Solidarity Stall! 🪧✊ To see care triumph over surveillance, we must build our collective power to resist. #AbolishReporting

Standing Against The Hostile Environment! 🪧✊ On Wednesday, we brought our Solidarity Stall to the door of Dallas Court Reporting Centre. Many people subject to immigration control are required to regularly “sign on” at one of these centres, bringing the threat of detention, deportation... 🧵

We are with you in spirit and solidarity @gmpnp.bsky.social, @thesewallsmustfall.bsky.social and everyone joining, but sadly not able to make it over to this today ❣️

Join us outside Dallas Court tomorrow! ✊ #AbolishReporting

🔔 REMINDER! Our Solidarity Stall is this Wednesday (9/4/25), 9am-3pm. The more people who attend, the stronger our message will be: reporting must be abolished. Members of our community will not be intimidated.

This time last week, a member of our community was detained and taken to Derwentside IRC - a notorious detention centre for women. On Wednesday, join us as we resist. ✊🪧 No one will abolish the Hostile Environment for us. Success lies in building our collective power.

🚨 ATTENTION! 🚨 Next Wednesday (9/4/25), we’ll be outside Dallas Court resisting the Hostile Environment. ✊🪧 Join us to show solidarity, share information and build our collective power. (And of course have a brew! ☕️)

Breaking fast, showing solidarity 🥘✊ Last night, we joined residents of the Albert Square homeless camp for the final iftar of Ramadan 2025. The majority of camp residents are refugees, who, after fleeing war and persecution, were confronted with the UK’s hostile... 🧵

We’re here in rainy Albert Square to break fast with residents of the homeless camp. 🌧️🌙 @raparuk.bsky.social

There is a huge community of people wanting to add their voice and capacity to resist hostile immigration policies. At a time when migrants are being routinely scapegoated, it’s vital we come together to build share info, build strategies and #StandUpSpeakOut ➡️https://sknb.org/take-action/suso/

🚨 MANCHESTER PEOPLE - please support this urgent action! ⤵️ (Sharing on behalf of our friends @right-to-remain.bsky.social)
