ALT Key Players of the Data for Health Justice Ecosystem: CAMPAIGNERS. ROLE Exist as an intersection between publication, membership, campaigning, and advocacy rooted in medical or professional (often younger) groups. Articulate and strategise the actions that support change in specific policies or infrastructure. OPPORTUNITIES Creating the case for data availability or creation through active engagement in systems that support or inhibit health justice. Facilitating the language and terminology that translates data into action for a range of citizens. Campaigners can be valuable translational assets between community advocates and engagement in systems of power with data. Macro environmental data enables them to present research on injustices and create realistic objectives for change. EXAMPLES: Medact, Health 4 Green New Deal, Systemic Justice

As our outgoing @Health4GND campaigner Rob states: “We’re in a dire position and if we don’t change our track right now, things are going to get bad a lot sooner than we can ever imagine".
Visit planetaryhealthhub.co.uk for full details of this weekend's action.
One of the UK’s biggest climate protests featuring health professionals is taking place in London over four days from 21 April.
We ask some of those taking part about what prompted them to take action bmj.com/content/381/bmj.p851 #climatechange #planetaryhealth @DoctorsXr
With fuel poverty, energy prices & global temperatures on the rise, it’s time local authorities stopped investing workers’ pensions in the culprits responsible.
Write to your councillors now & urge them to support fossil free pensions ➡️ divest.org.uk/act-now
