We endorse this demonstration 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!
This Saturday 7th March, @cnduk.bsky.social and @stwc.bsky.social have called a national demonstration in central London: Hands off Iran: Stop Trump’s Wars.
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 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.”

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/...
To our fellow health workers, and all those showing us the real meaning of community care in the USA: we stand with you because we know our struggles are the same.

We are looking for several new Trustees, a new Chair of the Board of Trustees and a new Treasurer to help oversee our governance and support our work. If you share our vision and passion, why not join our Board and help us fight for health justice? www.medact.org/2026/jobs/va...
“Our real demand is that we should not even allow ICE in our hospital at all,” Morgan emphasized. www.blackrosefed.org/hospital-org...

@medact.bsky.social @justtreatment.org
@goodlawproject.bsky.social and @justtreatment.org set up a tool to help us check whether our local NHS trusts are adopting Palantir's software and, if so, to send an email calling on them to reject its use. Let's start emailing!

Police tech doesn't predict crime. It predicts policing.
Fed on flawed police data, so-called 'crime-predicting' tech automates racism and discrimination against overpoliced communities.
The Safety Not Surveillance coalition spread the word.

"Humanitarianism has enabled the genocide to last for two years.
A single operating room won’t change anything. Particularly when that operating room is paid for by the same Government paying for the missiles and bombs."

📢 Rent is eating us alive and destroying our health.
It’s time to cap rents and expand social housing. We need rent controls, secure tenancies and a national strategy to rebalance the housing system.
www.medact.org/project/home...
The government blames “supply and demand,” but the housing crisis is man-made:
🏠 Buy-to-let landlords selling up or passing on costs.
💸 Years of weak tenant protections.
📈 A lack of affordable housing.
www.theguardian.com/money/2025/o...
Some of our partners joining us at #HCD2025 include Peckham Palms, Centric Labs & Latin Elephant.
We’ll also be joined by @medact.bsky.social, sharing insights from their participatory community research and the Nags Head Healthy Homes campaign 🏡
A fantastic opportunity for ant-nuclear activists to meet up and learn more about the movement to abolish WMD, in London on 01 November.
Yes. Yes. Yes.
One of the many reasons I love @medact.bsky.social is because they have the courage to speak the truth.
So whilst the majority of NGOs applaud Trump’s deal, it’s heartening to see this statement call it what it is: a colonial project that robs Palestine of autonomy.
