Campaigns Community
Join the Medsin Campaigns Community - the hub of advocacy and activism around the country.
This online community is where you can keep up to date with all campaign news and campaign focused debates.
It's the place where you can suggest new campaigns or issues that Medsin should work on and together we can build a movement.
Information on how to run a specific campaign locally - branch packs can be found on the forum with information, ideas and resources (posters, leaflets, petitions, etc)
You can choose to recieve every message like an email or just read them online like a forum it's up to you!
