Keep Our NHS Public has called a day of action to raise the alarm on the worst NHS Winter Crisis yet on Saturday 15th of February.

As Noam Chomsky says, the standard technique of privatisation is to 'defund, make sure things don't work, people get angry, you hand it over to private capital'. This Winter Crisis is the worst yet, but our NHS needs us to stand up and demand better so that we don't lose it to private health company vultures.

Read this report from an A&E nurse on why the day of action is so important and get involved with an event near you this weekend.

If you can't make it to an event, share this blog to spread the word!
