Fwd: The Ecologist: Remember the dead: fight for the living

[Ashish Kothari]

Friends, I am forwarding a mail from Brendan Montague, editor of The Ecologist, re. an upcoming action by health workers in UK ... and perhaps in other parts of the world? It is ridiculously criminal that people putting themselvss at great risk to treat COVID (and related) patients, are not provided with adequate safety gear. Pl. see below.

Editor's pick, top stories, today from The Ecologist and from The Resurgence Trust.

Friday, 24 April 2020 ‌ Dear Ashish, Why are NHS staff protesting in the streets to get the personal protective equipment they need to save our lives without endangering their own and the lives of their families? What kind of world do we live in? How did it come to this? The reality we face is that health workers in the UK and around the world are now having to put themselves on the activist front line for basic equipment. Some doctors and nurses in other countries are facing brutal oppression for taking this stand. Jonathan Neale, a former NHS worker and climate activist, has written an incredibly powerful article for The Ecologist. The article is promoting demonstrations taking place in London this Tuesday, 28 April. It is also calling for solidarity for similar events taking place around the world. We're including the full article in this email, below. DONATE We want to get Jonathan's article out to as many NHS workers as we can, as quickly as we can. We are therefore asking for a small donation from our readers. We want to raise £400 today in order to promote this article on Facebook - ensuring that it is seen by colleagues working in our NHS. We want this article to appear on their Facebook pages, showing them that we stand beside them. If we cannot join them on the streets, we can reach out using social media. We appreciate that many of you have recently donated to The Ecologist. And we're extremely grateful to those 112 supporters who have together given £2,347.62 towards our campaign, bringing us to 94 percent of our target. The money will ensure that a fall in advertising does not reduce the quality of our editorial content. We want to give our readers the opportunity to help us reach out to health workers, giving them the courage and the strength to campaign for their rights to protective equipment, our rights to a functioning health system and also the rights of health professionals around the world to protest. And to mourn those we have lost. DONATE Jonathan has already donated £200 which is incredible. We're asking our readers to give anything from £2 to £20 so that we can get his powerful message to as many NHS workers as possible. All donations are very gratefully received. And as we now say each week: please stay at home. And also reach out to those around you. You can still volunteer with Mutual Aid and take action with Protect the People. In solidarity,  Brendan Montague Editor The Ecologist Remember the dead: fight for the living Something new is emerging in the world, and it's important.

Unfortunately, the situation is even WORSE in Mexico, where there are direct attacks against medical personnel, both doctors and nurses as well as technicians being accused of spreading the disease rather than collaborating to confront the challenges. 

Truly disheartening

Yes the same thing happened in Australia, where nurses in uniform on their way home from shift were abused in the streets.
Problem being no change rooms at the work place.
