Detention is state violence. It devastates health. It must be abolished.
The National Day of Solidarity is a vital moment for growing the movement, raising awareness and building our collective power.
But the fight for justice continues every single day. #TheseWallsMustFall

Scrapping Indefinite Leave to Remain or making it harder to get - like the Government has just announced - will devastate our NHS.
It punishes people who’ve already been part of our communities for years.

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) 🧵

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.

Borders aren't natural, they're weapons built on racial capitalism and imperial violence. As states push deadly policies, we choose resistance through radical love and mutual aid. Our liberation is collective! ❤️

Is how Palantir execs describe their NHS strategy. Well, not if we have anything to do with it.
On Monday, I gathered with countless others to take our #NoPalantirInTheNHS campaign to the next level. Because grassroots resistance is working. 🧵
