Health Workers' Call for Peace and Justice!

 
On Wednesday March 12th the Alliance for People's Health and the Health Now! Campaign will launch the Health Workers' Call for Peace and Justice.

 

Another world is possible! The Health Workers' Call for Peace and Justice calls upon health workers and allies to shrug off neutrality and take a stand against war and unjust trade.  This important statement for peace critiques Canada's role in the creation of poverty, ill-health, forced migration, and the loss of livelihood and lives. We call on the Canadian government to withdraw all troops from Afghanistan, halt the rapid spread of privatization of essential health services, and divert military spending to people's heath - a sum which exceeds $ 1.3 million per day! 

 

Please consider sending in your endorsement of the Health Workers' Call, and bringing forward to your local organizations, unions, and community groups for organizational support and endorsement of this important statement!

 

International support is strongly desired to strengthen our demands on the Canadian State for peace and justice.
 
The Health Workers' Call for Peace and Justice was initiated by the Alliance for People's Health, and is a local initiative of the international Health Now! Campaign, uniting health workers to expose and oppose the dire impacts of unjust trade and war, the gravest barriers to people's health across the globe.
