Despite the annual summer lull, our clients across the Northern Hemisphere have been leading the charge on a range of pivotal issues. Here's a look at some of the key highlights from last month:
67% of GMB health workers rejected the government’s pay deal
GMB played a vital role in amplifying the voices of the NHS workers they represented. Over 67% of health worker members rejected the government’s proposed pay deal, marking a major step in ongoing efforts for fairer wages and conditions in healthcare. GMB’s mobilisation was crucial in this process, using Movement’s tools to ensure their messaging was clear, impactful, and reached the right decision-makers at the right time.
GMB is now using the substantial figure to start a conversation with Wes Streeting over fair pay for NHS workers.
All Out supporting the California Transgender Privacy Act
At All Out, the campaign for the California Transgender Privacy Act is gaining momentum. The team has been working tirelessly to encourage more stakeholders to add their support, with the goal of pushing for stronger privacy protections for transgender individuals in California. It’s a perfect example of how digital tools can help organise people and bring about real legislative change, giving voice to those often silenced.
Unison supporting Palestinian statehood
Unison has been backing the UK government’s plans to recognise a Palestinian state. This is part of their ongoing commitment to international human rights and supporting movements that advocate for peace and justice. Their efforts to bring attention to this issue show the power of collective action, both at home and abroad, in pushing for political change.
HOPE not hate have been keeping tabs on Stephen Yaxley Lennon
As always, Hope Not Hate is keeping a close eye on far-right extremist activity, with a focus on Stephen Yaxley Lennon. Despite his frequent holidays and courtroom absences, Hope Not Hate is tracking his movements and ensuring the public is informed about the threat he continues to pose. Their ongoing vigilance is a testament to the long-term commitment needed to fight extremism at all levels. He has since been arrested on return to the UK.
The Good Law Project are taking on the EHRC over transphobic guidance
Lastly, The Good Law Project has been actively challenging the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) over its transphobic guidance. This legal battle is crucial for the rights of trans individuals in the UK and will have long-term ramifications for human rights protections across the country. The Good Law Project’s efforts continue to demonstrate the vital role that legal action plays in shaping the future of human rights.
Campaigning doesn’t stop for summer
These campaigns show the continued dedication of organisations driving positive change, even in the summer months and in the face of adversity. Whether it’s fighting the far-right, fighting on behalf of trans rights, or in support of Palestine, it’s great to see Movement’s tools helping progressive campaigners mobilise and take action.
