When the loudest voices push people out, we show up for them. Send your message of solidarity. 

What is happening 

Anti-immigration marches have been growing. Hostile rhetoric has been filling newsfeeds and front pages. Across the globe dangerous far right ideologies are taking hold. For people already at the edges of the healthcare system; refugees, migrants, people afraid to seek help in case it is used against them, that noise is hard. 

We are seeing it more and more. People who have been told, directly or by implication, that they do not belong here and do not deserve care. 

They are wrong. And we need to say so. 

Why we are asking 

Doctors of the World UK has been getting people the healthcare they need for over thirty years. People turned away from NHS care. People with no fixed address, no GP, no route into the system. We support people in the UK and we respond to humanitarian emergencies in over 70 countries. We have never stopped. We never will. 

But healthcare is not just about treatment. It is about whether people feel safe enough to seek it. Right now, there are people who need care and are too afraid to seek it. Not because of anything they have done. Because of the climate being created around them. 

This campaign is our response to that. Courage to Care is a call to everyone who believes that healthcare belongs to all of us, to say so. 

What we are asking you to do 

Send a message of solidarity. Tell the people we serve that they are seen that they are welcome, that they have not been abandoned. We will collect your messages and share them in our outreach clinics, over our advice line and across our communications and community in the upcoming Refugee Week. We will make sure they get to the people who most need to hear them. Now more than ever. 

Show the world that kind voices can be loud too.
