‘We have been reminded of what we have in common and that when we act together rather than just for ourselves, we all benefit.’
This is from Just Fair’s statement in response to Covid-19, which they are inviting organisations and individuals to endorse before sharing with decision-makers.
The statement notes the disproportionate impact of the pandemic on BAME people, on older and disabled people and their families, on women and on those in poverty, insecure housing or precarious employment, or who have come to the UK seeking a better life for themselves and their families.
Just Fair are calling for the UK to give legal recognition to the rights to health, housing, food, social security, education and just conditions of work.
