Safe and Equal is campaigning for full isolation pay for all, and particularly for careworkers. It calls on supporters to lobby councils about careworkers. The first stage is to email councillors with a model letter.
Second stage: put a question to the health and social care scrutiny committee. Inform Safe and Equal about the reply you get.
A new leaflet is coming out soon: consider door-todoor leafleting. Email Safe and Equal if you want to join its next open organising meeting 6pm, Wednesday 27 January.

The Uyghur Solidarity Campaign is supporting an amendment in Parliament that would stop the UK making or maintaining trade deals with states that the High Court determines has committed genocide.
