As a #Nurse and the Lead Organiser for @nurses_united I’m passionate about promoting the freedom to be healthy 📢

Healthcare is about more than whether or not you can receive access to healthcare in an emergency 🏥

It’s in our homes 🏡

The air we breathe 🌍
It’s also about whether or not you can live a life free from racism. The way it affects you individually but also systematically are important 🌐

Every public health report under the sun shows that racism is a health issue ✊🏼✊🏾✊🏿✊🏽✊🏻
Which is why I will not tolerate antisemitic abuse being hurled at #NursesUnited because of who our funders are ✋🏼

It is incredible to see nurses within my union think that it’s okay to talk about a shadowy organisation, funded by George Soros, and not realise what it means
It also why the Executive Team of my union are now aware of it.

Because, no matter who we are, or what we disagree about, we can all agree that antisemitism is something that shouldn’t be a part of any nursing organisation.
@nurses_united exists to organise #nurses within the UK because we weren’t getting organised.

All across the country we’ve done that and brought thousands of new people into the process.

That should be celebrated and embraced.
Because when we do celebrate that, as some organisations including unions, have…

We become stronger and more powerful.

This thread is a classic example of what happens when we forget that.

And I ain’t the kind of person to stand by while it happens.
