Divisive. Discriminatory. Wrong. We need YOU to join the fight against COVID passes.
Why we must stop COVID passes
The UK Government has released the NHS COVID pass and is now "strongly encouraging" businesses to restrict access using them, leading anyone from bouncers to bosses to conduct health ID checks.
They're planning to make COVID passes mandatory - and are even threatening to make vaccine-only passes mandatory for nightclubs and universities.
COVID certificates would be the first attempt at segregation in Britain for many decades, dividing communities without reducing risks. We are in real danger of becoming a checkpoint nation.
We cannot, and will not, let this Government create a two-tier nation of division, discrimination and injustice.
Our common goal is to exit lockdown - healthy, safe and free. But we can't arrive at freedom through exclusion.
The effect of the scheme would be to create a society where the poorest, the most marginalised, and anyone who does not comply with unprecedented demands for medical interventions could be denied basic socio-economic opportunities and afforded fewer liberties than their neighbours, colleagues and fellow citizens.
The prospect of internal health passports signals a grave unbalancing of the relationship between not only citizens and the state but citizens and employers, business owners, managers, marshals, and anyone else dressed with authority.
The Government’s push for COVID-status certificates puts Britain in the midst of one of the greatest civil liberties battles we have faced in modern times. This is a time to stand up and take action.
