'Climate Refugees' conference February 11 2017, London

'Climate Refugees' conference February 11 2017, London

There's growing support for the 'Climate Refugees' conference we're organising with Friends of the Earth in London onFebruary 11th. Our joint letter in the Guardian (10 January) sets out the scale of the challenge, with climate change and enforced migration increasingly linked, 'yet those displaced have no legal standing under existing international refugee and asylum law.'

You can read our letter here:

Trump's climate denial is just one of the forces that points towards greater suffering because of the inaction of governments.

Campaign Against Climate Change 

a stand against all Trump stands for - racism, misogyny, corporate cronyism and fossil-fuelled climate change denial

As the world enters a new era with the inauguration of President Trump, join others in your area to make a stand against all Trump stands for - racism, misogyny, corporate cronyism and fossil-fuelled climate change denial that puts our whole planet at risk.
There will be rallies and banner drops from bridges ('Bridges Not Walls') in at least 23 cities across the UK, with others in smaller towns. Events we know about so far are listed on our website. It's not too late to organise one yourself, either. As climate activists it's vital that we are there with a clear message, standing in solidarity with anti-racism and women's rights campaigners. Let's help build and promote these protests so they are heard within our own country as well!
In London we'll be joining the rally outside the US embassy with a climate bloc. (Facebook event)
Stay in touch and let us know what's going on.
All the best
Claire and everyone at CCC

The NHS crisis has reached a new level.

The NHS crisis has reached a new level. In the last few days the Red Cross declared a 'humanitarian crisis' in the NHS and were forced to intervene. This Government has knowingly and wilfully created the crisis in the NHS. Hospitals are underfunded, social care has collapsed, which puts more pressure on hospitals, staff are overworked and conditions are deteriorating.  The Governments drive to privatise the NHS will only make this situation worse. We must take action to defend our NHS or we risk losing it forever.  Over the next few weeks there are some key events/actions building up to a massive#OurNHS National Demonstration on Saturday 4 March.  Please do all you can to make sure they are as big as possible. Over the next few days we're calling on all local groups and campaigns to do an emergency action at a local hospital.  In London this Thursday, we're organising an emergency rally at the Department of Health from 6pm.  Hunt Must Go - Rescue Our NHS Emergency Protest - 6pm, Department of Health, Whitehall London Invite your friends on Facebook Organised by Junior Doctors Alliance, The People's Assembly, Health Campaigns Together Saturday 14 January, Nationwide Day of Action We're asking local groups and campaigns to set up an emergency rally or protest at local hospitals across the country. A series of leafleting actions for the National Demonstration have been organised already, you can find details on the Facebook event here. If you want to add to the list of flyering sessions and actions please email office@thepeopelsassembly.org.uk so we can add to the list and promote.

Unite the Union General Secretary Elections

We want to also give a special mention to an important election coming up in the UK's biggest trade union UNITE. Len McCluskey who has been UNITE's General Secretary since 2011 has triggered an early election which will take place in early 2017. 

UNITE has been central to the anti-austerity movement and one of the founding members of the People's Assembly. Without the national support of UNITE it would have been impossible to build the broad coalition against austerity we have today. It's for this reason that the right wing media and establishment will throw their weight behind trying to undermine the work that Len and UNITE have done. They will do all they can to make sure the right take hold of one of the most influential trade unions we have. 

If you are a member please make sure you vote. You can also become a member and vote as long as you join before 1 January. If you are unemployed, or unable to join a workplace union, UNITE have a special community membership. Details here

Solidarity!
