Dear John,

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!

These failings are UNACCEPTABLE. 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.

SIGN THE PETITION FOR SAFE, PUBLIC TEST AND TRACE 

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 [1] 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 [2] 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.

TELL THE GOVERNMENT WE NEED SAFE TEST AND TRACE

You signing and sharing this 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.

SHOW THAT PRESSURE IS BUILDING - SIGN NOW

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING ACTION TODAY. By signing the petition [3] 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.

Solidarity,

Cat, Chris, Johnbosco, Alice, Pascale and The We Own It team
