JUST LAUNCHED: Amnesty International UK’s NEW DOCUMENTARY explores the recent crackdown on protesting in Britain 🪧

Watch the full film at the link below 👀

Featuring a range of activists championing different causes, The Fight to be Heard charts the growing pressures facing protesters in the UK - from record-breaking prison sentences of peaceful protesters to surveillance and criminalisation.

Protest has always been part of British history. Protest gives us power to make our leaders listen to us and challenge their decisions that shape our everyday lives.

So what happens when that right is restricted? And whose voices are heard when speaking out gets harder? Watch the full documentary at the link below👇

“They shall not pass.”

90 years ago today, as antisemitism and fascism were on the rise throughout Europe, Oswald Mosley’s racist British Union of Fascists planned a provocative march through the Jewish community of East London. But the people of London met the call “all out against fascism” - and the largest anti-fascist mobilisation in British history took place in what became known as the Battle of Cable Street. Mosley’s fascists were stopped from marching through our streets.

From Cable Street in London, Holbeck Moor in Leeds and Belle Vue in Manchester, people came together throughout the 1930s to stop fascism. And despite support from some in the media with headlines like “Hurrah for the Blackshirts!” - people organised and beat the British Union of Fascists on the streets and at the ballot box. They never won a seat in Parliament.

Today, when the organised far-right are once again on the rise throughout Europe and racial violence in the UK is escalating, we remember this: together, we can beat fascism.

Over 23,000 of you have signed our No Palantir in the NHS petition, smashing our 10,000 target 🎉 Let's keep that momentum going!

On Thursday night, hundreds of patients, health workers and campaigners rallied outside Palantir's London HQ, despite a small group of counter-protesters.

Our message hasn't changed: a company linked to Israel's genocide in Gaza has no place in our NHS. We'll keep going until the government ends Palantir's contract.

Huge thanks to our speakers Dr Omar Abdel-Mannan, Dr James Smith and Shireen Asaw, Rhiannon Mihranian Osborne, and to everyone who stood with us ✊

TODAY: Patients, NHS workers and campaigners are taking action against Palantir at over 40 locations across England.

Palantir's tools are used by the Israeli military in Gaza and by ICE to track and surveil migrants in the US. A company profiting from human rights violations has no place in the NHS or in any of our public services.

We're calling on every NHS trust and Integrated Care Board to reject Palantir's technology, and on the government to use the break clause and end the contract.

Tonight hundreds of people rallied outside Palantir's London headquarters and delivered a ‘termination of contract’ noti...

Tonight hundreds of people rallied outside Palantir's London headquarters and delivered a ‘termination of contract’ notice to their door.��

It closes a day of protests at more than 40 locations across England, and a week of action against Palantir around the world.��

Palantir's £330 million NHS contract is up for review and the government can choose to end it. The decision could be made in a matter of weeks. Share this and help us keep the pressure up. �

The Foreign Secretary says 'it was never anyone’s intent to criminalise elderly people, vicars and grannies', but what did the Government think would happen when they decided to use DRACONIAN TERRORISM POWERS to PUNISH PROTESTERS?

Protest gives us POWER to make our leaders listen. It’s ESSENTIAL for a functioning society.

Sign the petition below if you want to END THE PROSECUTION OF PEACEFUL PROTESTERS!

We're proud to have been part of the Right to Food UK Commission, and its findings are clear. With free school meals for every child up to 18, an end to the five-week wait for Universal Credit and a Right to Food Bill, no one would have to skip meals or choose between eating and paying the rent.

Andy Burnham has backed the right to food before. Now he's Prime Minister, he has the power to make it law.

Thank you to Ian Byrne and everyone who shared their story with the Commission 💛
