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.

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."

Free to attend and open to all – make sure you're registered 🥂⬇️

Homes for Health - Medact We're bringing together a movement of health workers united in a shared vision to reclaim our homes for people and the planet

📢 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...

Private rent in Britain now swallows 44% of the average wage Monthly cost jumps to record £1,385 outside London, and £2,736 in the capital, with hotspots showing hefty rises

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.

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.

Statement on Gaza ceasefire - Medact The ceasefire agreement, and accompanying Trump-Netanyahu 20 point plan, lays out a deeply colonial approach to the future of Gaza.
