Freedom of Information requests are frequently used by journalism units, such as Liberty Investigates, to uncover hidden injustices and hold those in power to account.
Their work has never been more urgent.

Undermining this process would not only make it almost impossible to bring stories like these to light, it would also significantly damage public trust in public services and institutions.
That’s why we’ve written to the Cabinet Office to raise our concerns.
Reproductive Justice Initiative retweeted
Deeply concerning that the Government are considering curbing Freedom of Information requests.
They’ve been central to unearthing national scandals and forcing action and justice - like the Post Office Horizon scandal.

The European Convention on Human Rights is a vital legal framework that protects us all.
But reforms to how it works could lead to a slow erosion of our rights.
ACT NOW: Email your MP. Call on them to oppose changes that will water down our protections.

The framing of teaching “awareness of racial biases and discrimination”, is not be enough to change these outcomes because racist ideology is built into medicine so it can’t just be about the care being given but reckoning with racist logics in medicine and not just in midwifery!

RJI is joining the Assata Shakur Brigade mission to Cuba this month, to take menstrual products such as cups, tampons and sanitary towels. The travel is self-funded, so your donations will go directly to bringing urgent aid to the Cuban people.
