"We should never resort to their tactics or impose our own brand of censorship, we must show bravery and be better than that" (Claire Fox)

Censoring people and shutting people down is not how we progress

We must protect everyone's right to speak freely #together

SOCIAL CARE: Amanda Hunter, part of the #Together Cabinet, will be speaking at the Birmingham & Midland Institute this Saturday

NORTHERN IRELAND: "A new Health Bill is coming and it could dramatically change your rights" (Melissa Ciummei)

We hear there is a protest against proposed new Public Health Bill

TOMORROW 12 noon, Belfast City Hall

"Northern Ireland government consults on mandatory vaccines"

Unusually balanced BBC piece here confirming the major concerns with NI's draconian proposed Public Health Bill

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4g4jjpq36lo

38 Degrees removed the petition against this Bill, citing lack of "reputable news sources" backing up claims

Maybe this will do?

(Of course, policy proposals themselves have always been readily available to read online at NI Govt website)

These Public Health Bill proposals are extremely worrying

Consultation on it closes Monday; if you are in NI pls take action - here’s some guidance: http://togetherdeclaration.org/ni

"People are no longer trusting organisations, and there's good reason for that"

Dan Wootton at our Together 3rd Anniversary event

We've been let down by institutions and new ones will rise up in their place

Stronger #together

Why do so many young people feel politically homeless?

"(Young people) feel there aren't places where they can freely express their views" (Adam)

When there is little space for young people to speak openly, no wonder many feel politically homeless

#together stronger
