1 April is All Together for the NHS Day.

We're making a noise about the government's plans to dramatically chance the National Health Service, which we think will leave the most vulnerable people much worse off in terms of health and social care.

•Hear from innovative and effective campaigns in other fields.
•Make useful contacts with key people and organisations.

On 20th October, George Osborne will present his Comprehensive Spending Review, detailing the huge cuts that he plans to make to UK public spending.

We think he’s making a huge mistake. The scale and pace of cuts is not neccessary, and certainly not fair. The Chancellor says the cuts are inevitable, but we think they’re ideological.

Let’s make sure that every MP watching the Chancellor outline his plans on the 20th October will already know the strength of feeling in their own constituency about his plans.

Please take a moment to write to your MP now, letting them know you...

The TUC is supporting an email and letter writing campaign launched by Amnesty International and the ITUC in support of Bangladeshi textile workers, who recently went on strike for a decent minimum wage.

Police have detained at least 21 garment factory employees and labour rights activists following violent street prot...ests in and around the Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka. They are at risk of torture or other ill-treatment. Some workers and activists have gone into hiding. Several others have said that they or their relatives have received death threats from security forces.

If you can, please take a minute to write a letter now
