Dear John,

2020 has been an incredibly difficult year for so many people. Whether
you’re on your own this Christmas or with family, whether you and yours
are well or you’ve had a tricky time of it – WE’RE SENDING YOU LOVE
AND SOLIDARITY.

It’s been a tough one but because of all the campaign action you've taken
this year, we’ve been able to grow and achieve more than ever before.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE THIS YEAR TO DEFEND OUR NHS
AND ALL PUBLIC SERVICES.

Thanks to you - here are a few highlights of the things you’ve helped to
achieve this year:

* You helped us celebrate the NHS’s birthday with polling [1] to show
that 3 out of 4 of us want the NHS to be reinstated as a fully public
service after Covid
* You put the government under pressure again and again over its decision
to outsource contact tracing to Serco [2] – pushing for local public
health teams to get the cash instead
* You helped to impact the public conversation on everything from water to
energy to outsourcing – we were quoted hundreds of times [3] in
newspapers like the Mirror, the Guardian, the Daily Express, the
Independent as well as in plenty of local papers
* With your help, we pushed Labour’s Keir Starmer to sign up to support
public ownership pledges [4] across ten policy areas
* We saw lots of your wonderful and beautiful faces at our weekly webinars
[5] at lunchtime on Thursdays!

* You helped us expose the privatisation in the NHS Supply Chain [6]
* You won a partial victory with the House of Lords voting to protect our
NHS [7] last week after we handed in our biggest petition ever of over
315,000 signatures

In 2021, we’re looking forward to working with you to achieve even more
– and hopefully get back to something a bit more like normal life.

We’ll be campaigning vigorously against NHS privatisation as well as
pushing for regulation of BUSES in key cities, holding Labour’s feet to
the fire on public ownership policies, and pushing back against OUTSOURCING
and privatisation by this government wherever we can.

In the meantime, we’re sending you strength, solidarity, love - and so
much gratitude.

WE WISH YOU A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR.
