Dear John,

A group of over 50 Conservative MPs have launched a group called the COVID
RECOVERY GROUP this week and one of their three guiding principles is the
NEED FOR LOCAL CONTACT TRACING.

By asking them to use their position as a bloc in the Conservative party to
put pressure on Rishi Sunak before his November spending review, we think
that money can be found for locally led, public contact tracing in England.
WILL YOU PLEASE EMAIL THEIR TWO CHAIRMEN, MARK HARPER MP AND STEVE BAKER
MP, ASKING THEM TO PUSH RISHI SUNAK FOR THE FUNDS?

I'LL EMAIL HARPER AND BAKER TO GET PUBLICLY LED TRACK AND TRACE [1]

With the November Spending Review coming up on November 25th, RISHI SUNAK
WILL BE THINKING ABOUT WHERE HE SHOULD INVEST.

PLEASE WRITE TO THE TWO CHAIRMEN OF THE COVID RECOVERY GROUP NOW to let
them know you support vital, local, publicly led track and trace, and that
Serco, and co SHOULD HAND THE MONEY OVER TO LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH TEAMS!

The two Chairmen can email Rishi Sunak on your behalf, putting pressure
within their own party.

RISHI SUNAK IS MUCH MORE LIKELY TO BOW TO THEIR PRESSURE THAN OURS, BUT WE
CAN EMBOLDEN THIS GROUP THROUGH WRITING TO THEM EN MASSE: we want local
contact tracing in our communities!

WRITE TO THE COVID RECOVERY GROUP CHAIRMEN TODAY: PLEASE ASK SUNAK TO
SCRAP SERCO__ [1]

SCOTLAND, WALES AND NORTHERN IRELAND have track and trace in public hands
(although Scotland has given out some private contracts recently, which you
can TAKE ACTION ON HERE [2]), but in England we need to kick private
companies out - any help people outside of England can offer is hugely
appreciated!

With several senior Conservative MPs, most of the media and the public all
in agreement that we need local track and trace, they MUST BE FEELING THE
PRESSURE. 

IT'S THE PERFECT TIME TO MOVE THE DIAL [1] AND MAKE SURE PUBLIC HEALTH
TEAMS ARE ACTUALLY GIVEN THE RESOURCES TO LEAD.

Together, taking action, we can make our communities safer by getting a
publicly led track and trace system that stops this virus ripping through
our villages, towns and cities. THANKS SO MUCH FOR TAKING ACTION.

Solidarity,
