Below is a press release from the group Together (a link to their website can be found here), who are holding an Action Week, taking place from December 6th – 10th, to try and fight the imposition of vaccine passports across the U.K. If you would like more information, please contact: press@togetherdeclaration.org.
The introduction of vaccine passports in Scotland, Wales and now Northern Ireland has been punitive to businesses as well as being illogical and discriminatory.
In the past few days, we have seen a predictable knee-jerk reaction to a ‘new variant’ with talk of introducing ‘Plan B’ restrictions in England and further restrictions. This is a complete overreaction given that experts in South Africa and the WHO have all said that the Omicron variant currently presents ‘mild symptoms’.
One of the founding principles of #Together is that ordinary people should have their voices heard. With almost 150,000 signatories, growing daily, #TogetherUK is organising Action Week from December 6th – 10th to stand united against the introduction of vaccine passports here in England and to fight for their removal throughout the rest of the U.K.
Supporters and signatories of the #Together Declaration will take part in a five day action plan to lobby their local MP daily, culminating in either a visit to their local MP surgery or where that is not possible, to broadcast from their local high street on Friday December 10th.
Stop Press: GMB is conducting a Twitter poll asking people if they think vaccine passports should be made mandatory in the light of “omnicron cases doubling every two days”. You know what to do.
