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.

Indefinite Leave to Remain is the backbone of belonging.

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.

A GMPNP member explains more 👇
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! ❤️

Despite the UK’s new deportation policy and the EU’s €81 billion investment in borders, Collin Fallowfield reminds us of there is power in resistance rooted in collective care.

💬 "Buying our way in and hoovering up"

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. 🧵

Read our thoughts on how to dismantle the Hostile Environment through the power of narrative 👇
Narrating Against Borders! 📚✊

Back in June, we were at the University of Manchester exploring the role of storytelling in dismantling the Hostile Environment.

Stories have been effectively harnessed by architects of hostility to entrench borders within all walks of life... 🧵

This #RefugeeWeek, we asked our team: How does community support your health?

Because for people rebuilding their lives after dangerous journeys to the UK, community is everything - a source of strength, care, and healing.

Thank you for being part of that kind of community 💙🧡
