From We Own It
With no word on whether secretive, shoddy contracts for track and trace are set to be renewed, and the news today that nearly 16,000 cases were lost from the testing system, it's obvious that test and trace is a MESS!
We won't take this. We've not shared this since we first launched it, but now we think it's time to make this go big, with your help.
You can also share this link for the petition with friends and family.
After your actions over the weekend, we've had no response. We don't know if they'll be giving Serco and Sitel more money to fail at contact tracing in two-weeks when their contracts are renewed.
As if it wasn't enough that they're likely giving these companies millions after consistently failing, we've now found out that 16,000 people's tests were LOST delaying contact tracing even further.
And some experts think it's potentially because private labs don't have up-to-date systems for sharing data.
We've seen that this government only takes action when it knows an issue isn't going away.
Today, this issue is on the front pages and all over the news. Let's show that we're not going to accept this mess.
You sharing the petition will help show that public pressure is building.
It's only England that has gone for this privatised track and trace system which consistently fails to match public health teams.
However, the privatisation of the testing system is a mess that affects all of us, and will for months to come, unless we keep fighting for a publicly run, safe system.
Thank you so much for taking action today. By sharing the petition for safe test and trace run in public hands, we're showing that we won't take this.
We need SAFE, PUBLIC TEST AND TRACE NOW!

With you on board, we can win public services run for people, not profit.
