Dear John,

The result of the US presidential election is yet to be confirmed as we send this email, but no matter who wins, we know they’ll want to get their hands on our NHS in a US trade deal. We want to make it absolutely clear that whoever wins, we will not let our NHS be reduced to an insurance system.  

Can you join our day of action to declare your local NHS hospital or health centre a trade deal free zone this coming Wednesday, 11th November?

Trump has already said that he wants the NHS on the table in the UK-US trade deal. Joe Biden, his opponent, does not support the call by the majority of Americans for a UK-style healthcare system in the US and his party takes tens of millions of Pounds in campaign donations from the US healthcare and pharmaceutical industry.

So, no matter who ends up winning, they will want to get their hands on our NHS and will have pressure from their funders to do so. 

In July, Conservative MPs voted in the Commons against protecting our NHS from trade deals. We need to make sure they feel the heat in their constituencies so that when the Trade Bill returns to the Commons, they know they have to vote the right way. 

That is why this day of action is targeted primarily at the 100 most marginal Conservative constituencies. But we also need you to take action at your local hospital or health centre if you live in a non-Conservative constituency.  

We’d love to get a picture from you that sends a clear message. Here’s what we need you to do:

 - Find/buy some blue ribbon (blue because it is the colour of our NHS). If possible, make a sign that says “Our NHS is a Trade Deal Free Zone” or another similar message. 

 - Go to your local NHS hospital on Wednesday, 11th November.

 - Tie your ribbon unto a suitable platform (a lamp post, the gate, etc) at your local NHS hospital. Stand next to your ribbon and take a picture 

Sign up to join in the action and we’ll send you this step-by-step guide and help you get your action into your local press. 

The election of the US president is a perfect time for Conservative MPs to hear from you so that they know that you know our NHS is still under grave threat.

Once the new US president is confirmed, attention will soon turn to how they will approach the UK-US trade deal. When that happens, we want to make sure those MPs know they need to change their vote to be on the right side when the Trade Bill returns to the Commons.

Our NHS should be a trade deal free zone, and on Wednesday we will take action to put that message across in a strong way. Sign up and join people in your community in taking action this coming Wednesday. 

Yours Sincerely.
