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.

More than 35 million people have died of HIV or AIDS related illnesses\, making it one of the most destructive pandemics in history. \nMany people still don’t know the facts about how to protect themselves and others\, and stigma and discrimination remain a reality for people living with the condition.\nPeople living with HIV are also more likely to experience poverty\, hardship and inequalities. \nMarking World AIDS Day shows a genuine commitment to equality and diversity and shows your customers/clients\, and employees\, that you are an inclusive business that strives to be supportive of people living with HIV. \nThis World AIDS Day\, use red ribbons and our ready-made events materials to help raise awareness in your workplace and raise vital funds for National AIDS Trust\, so that together we can stop HIV from standing in the way of health\, dignity and equality\, and end new HIV transmissions by 2030.

SUMMARY:Bold Solutions: The economic\, climate and energy crises and how we fix them - London
DESCRIPTION:A TUC conference on solutions to the energy\, climate and economic crises \nBoth our economy and our planet are in crisis. \nBills and sea levels are rising at an unprecedented rate. Nationally\, the cost-of-living scandal is driving absolute poverty and forcing millions into increasingly desperate conditions. Globally\, climate change is threatening the lives and livelihoods of billions of workers. These crises are parallel and inter-linked. \nWe urgently need a politics that builds a safe climate for future generations\, a rapid and just transition with quality jobs\, and an economy that rewards work\, not wealth. The TUC is convening a conference: two events\, one in person and one online\, that will coincide with COP 27 and bring trade union and climate activists together to gather solutions. \nHow do we combine our struggles for an equitable cost of living\, workers’ rights and a just transition to climate safety?

SUMMARY:TUC LESE briefing for trade union health and safety reps
DESCRIPTION:Trade union health and safety reps did an epic job during the pandemic\, literally saving lives through their expertise\, actions and commitment. But it was a really tough time for them. \nAnd now\, in addition to all the pre-existing workplace hazards\, there are additional issues related to long Covid\, to hybrid working\, and an explosion of workplace stress.\n\n\nTrade union health and safety reps need and deserve up to date information\, and examples of good practice to seek to emulate. They will benefit from networking with other H&S reps. And we need more activists to volunteer to be TU H&S reps. \nPut 25 November in your diary\, contact us to register your interest at lese@tuc.org.uk and reserve a space at this briefing\, putting ‘H&S reps 25 November’ in the subject box. \nIf you are not signed up for the TUC’s RISKS bulletin\, then sign-up today.
