SAVE OUR HOSPITAL!
Hands off HRI are campaigning to save Huddersfield Royal Infirmary, its A&E and Acute Services.
We campaign locally. We support other health campaigners in Yorkshire and across the country. Together we can win.
ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN
Hands off HRI was set up in 2016 to campaign against the closure or downgrading of hospitals or health services within the Huddersfield and Calderdale area, particularly against the planned closure of Huddersfield Royal Infirmary, its A&E department and acute services.
The Campaign intends to mount a legal challenge against Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust’s current plans for the removal of A&E and Acute Services from Huddersfield Royal Infirmary. You can read more here.
UPCOMING EVENTS
Unite for a Better World
The death of George Floyd and a global pandemic have sparked an international movement to dismantle systemic racism, led by the Black Lives Matter movement all over the world. Local groups in Kirklees have set up an alliance committed to eradicate all forms of racism, colonialism and ethnic oppression from our communities. We need our institutions to protect both people and planet; to safeguard the right to protest and to live free of violence and discrimination.
Our aim is that the council and other public bodies communicate a clear anti-racist message throughout our education system, health service, police force and wider society.
We must bring an end to:
Underrepresentation of ethnic minorities in the workplace
The white, colonial narrative in our curriculum.
The disproportionate deaths of BAME patients in our hospitals
Migrant charges for NHS treatment
We need to protect both people and planet and work for a fairer, more equitable, inclusive society with respect and dignity for all.
We need to safeguard the right to protest and the right to live free of violence and discrimination.
We will challenge the status quo at every level!
Unity is Strength!
COME TO OUR ONLINE RALLY TO JOIN THE FIGHTBACK
