📣 BREAKING: We went to Elephant & Castle, New Scotland Yard and Parliament. We are driving the message home: police are using “crime predicting” technology and the consequence is biased policing. Use of technology to “predict crime” violates: ⚖️ our right not to be discriminated against 🚩 our right to be presumed innocent ⚠️ our right to freedom of association. This is automated racism. It must be banned. Sign the petition ➡️ http://amn.st/60410JPUZ

How is it possible that one of the wealthiest countries can’t reverse poverty? How did the NHS become so underfunded that it struggles to provide essential care on time? The UN has called out the UK’s failure to tackle inequality, protect human rights, and fund vital services. These are political choices. Read why urgent action is needed: http://amn.st/60450DXhZ

New anti-protest law debated in Parliament TODAY The Crime and Policing Bill continues the crackdown on our right to protest. Instead of more anti-protest laws, the government should REPEAL the draconian laws already restricting protest. Peaceful protest is a human right.

🚨URGENT: STOP THESE EXECUTIONS 🚨 Pakhshan Azizi and Verisheh Moradi, both Kurdish women, are facing imminent execution in Iran. Pakhshan helped women and children displaced by ISIS. Verisheh is a member of the group East Kurdistan Free Woman Society. Iranian authorities executed at least 853 people in 2023 alone. We can't let them be next. Public pressure has worked before, it can work again. Sign the petition and demand their immediate release.

The blocking of humanitarian aid to Gaza by the Israeli authorities is a war crime and amounts to collective punishment of the civilian population. This is genocide. The UK government has a legal obligation to prevent and punish genocide. It must stop all transfers of arms to Israel and actively support international justice mechanisms. Not doing so risks UK government complicity. The release of Israeli and foreign national civilians held hostage by Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza, and Palestinians arbitrarily detained by Israel, must also take place immediately. They should not be political pawns.

If we want to end racist policing, we need to know about its roots. Automated policing doesn’t stop crime. It’s about controlling people - and we need to stop it now. Read more: http://amn.st/6041LsAeU
