SUMMARY:Holocaust Memorial Day
DESCRIPTION:Holocaust Memorial Day Trust (HMDT) encourages remembrance in a world scarred by genocide. We promote and support Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) – the international day on 27 January to remember the six million Jews murdered during the Holocaust\, alongside the millions of other people killed under Nazi persecution of other groups and in genocides that followed in Cambodia\, Rwanda\, Bosnia and Darfur. \n27 January marks the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau\, the largest Nazi death camp. \nThe Holocaust threatened the fabric of civilisation\, and genocide must still be resisted every day. Our world often feels fragile and vulnerable and we cannot be complacent. Even in the UK\, prejudice and the language of hatred must be challenged by us all. \nHMD is for everyone. Each year across the UK\, thousands of people come together to learn more about the past and take action to create a safer future. We know they learn more\, empathise more and do more.

SUMMARY:March and Rally - Oxford
DESCRIPTION:We are facing the worst cost of living crisis in generations. Inflation is at a 40 year high\, and the government’s own forecaster predicts an average fall of 7% in household income over the next two years. Many will lose much more than 7%. \nBut there has been incredible resistance to the employers’ offensive. In the last few months hundreds of thousands of workers have taken strike action\, shutting down postal\, rail and border services\, and raising the alarm about the crisis in the NHS. More workers are likely to join the strike wave in the coming months. The fact that employers and the government are coordinating their action means our side has to do the same. There have been amazing examples of solidarity between unions\, but this needs to be built\ninto a force that can stop the attacks. \nJoin the march and rally in support of striking workers – called by Oxford Trades Council and CWU South Central Postal Branch.  Manzil Way\, Oxford.  12pm\, Sunday 22 January.

SUMMARY:The Bundle - play - London
DESCRIPTION:Join LESE TUC Womens Rights Committee at our fundraising event for Care for Calais\, a volunteer run charity delivering essential aid and support to refugees living in the UK\, Northern France and Belgium. \nThe Bundle is based closely on the story of a woman and her three young children. It follows Adilah’s domestic persecution and denial of human rights in Chechnya. \nRemoved from her Russian homeland by her Chechen father\, abducted into a forced marriage and then subjected to a life of servitude\, she takes the ultimate risk in plotting her escape to the UK. Here she finds a home but also encounters the Home Office’s ‘hostile environment’ with regard to asylum seekers and refugees. The play moves from the tradition of the folk story to that of biting satire as it charts Adilah’s bid for freedom\, safety and hope. \nThe play is brought to you by the Journeymen Theatre. \nDonations: minimum £5.00 (Payment on the door. Cash only please) \nRaffles Prizes \nRunning time I hour \nLet us know if you are coming. Contact: s.aitouaziz@hotmail.co.uk

SUMMARY:How we can WIN AS ONE in the next general election
DESCRIPTION:Thursday 12 January 2023 7:00 p.m. Zoom event \nWe in GET PR DONE! are getting very tired of this situation. You may be fed up as well. The results come in from a general election. Many Conservative candidates become MPs again —- especially in safe seats — when the vote total of the centre and left candidates in numbers of constituencies may have been far greater overall. \nThis result is down to two things: a) our archaic First Past the Post (FPTP) voting system; b) the fact that so-called “progressive parties” fail to work together and hence Tory candidates slither into many Parliamentary seats unfairly. \nThe left-of-centre pressure group COMPASS has just announced a new campaign to try to tackle both problems. In about 60 constituencies\, COMPASS will be working with other groups to organise a major tactical voting campaign to oust vulnerable sitting Tory MPs and candidates. Building a Commons majority among progressive parties would lead to a second goal: introducing a proportional representation (PR) voting system. \nThis is a goal that GET PR DONE! is happy to support. So on 12 January we’ve invited Neal Lawson\, executive director of Compass\, to be our guest on at a public webinar on Zoom to tell us how WIN AS ONE will work and how you can join the effort. \nNeal will be interviewed by Katie Neame who is a senior reporter with Labour List\, an online publication that reports Labour Party news 24/7. \nWhen the interview is over there will be plenty of time for your questions. No one is suggesting WIN AS ONE will be plain sailing. \nThis will be Neal’s second visit to a GET PR DONE! His first session in August 2021 was one of the best 20-odd webinars we’ve put on and so we are most looking forward to his return. \nPlease RSVP via the website below for the zoom link

SUMMARY:State of Health and Care Conference 2022
DESCRIPTION:Our health is in crisis. 20th century improvements in UK population health are reversing; UK health is lagging behind other advanced countries; and the NHS faces the toughest winter in its history. \nAt the same time\, the economy faces big\, fundamental and long-term weaknesses. The labour market is struggling; productivity has failed to recover from the financial crash; and we are experiencing a chronic lack of growth. \nIt is these twin challenges that have inspired IPPR to launch the Commission on Health and Prosperity – chaired by Dame Sally Davies and Lord Ara Darzi. Our formative hypothesis is that a fairer country is a healthier one\, and a healthier country is a more prosperous one. Put another way\, better health is the medicine our economy desperately needs.

SUMMARY:Young & unrepresented - an LCER Youth event
DESCRIPTION:All young people welcome for this LCER Youth event as we explore how Proportional Representation can help us achieve the policies we need for our futures. \nFirst Past the Post consistently gives older\, home-owning voters in marginal seats disproportionate power over British politics – while young people’s voices are ignored. \nTo make sure young people’s voices are heard – and to bring about a progressive\, more equal future for the whole UK – we need a fair\, proportional democracy. Join the discussion about why we need Labour to commit to PR and how we can make it happen. \nFeaturing: \n\nBen McGowan – National Chair\, Labour Students\nKira Lewis – Labour & Co-op Councillor\nLara Parizotto – Labour Councillor & Migrant Democracy Project Co-founder\nRalph Ali – Young Labour’s Under 18’s Rep

SUMMARY:Warm This Winter - Day of Action on Fuel Poverty across the UK
DESCRIPTION:We’re working with groups and communities to put on events and actions in villages\, towns and cities up and down the country. We’re planning a huge display of people power to show we have the solutions to the energy crisis and they need to be implemented now. \n\nHere’s how to take part \nEvents and activities will be distributed around the country showing the breadth of demand for change. Actions and events can look like anything you would like them to. \nThey can range from a small gathering of friends and family to discuss the issues we’re facing\, a stall in your town centre or an event in a local community hall or park. You could share leaflets and information about the campaign and how people can stay warm this winter\, it could be a visual stunt making the most of your creative talents\, or a demonstration or town hall event where folk can come and hear people speak. You decide what will work for you and your community. Whatever it is\, however big or small\, it will help spread the word and make it clear that we demand change.
