You can listen to the full conversation here, and remember to tune in to Black 'n' Deadly every Friday at 11AM on 3CR.// Save cohealth RallyShaday, a GP trainee at a community health clinic, joined us to discuss organising for the Save Cohealth Rally this Saturday 8th November outside Sarah Witty’s office. The rally is calling on federal or state emergency funding to save the clinics that service over 12,500 people and prevent a statewide health catastrophe. Some symbolic motions in parliament have been moved but it is mass mobilisations like the Town Hall in Fitzroy last week and the rally that will win this campaign. Join the rally on Saturday the 8th of November from 2PM outside Labor MP Sarah Witty's Office, 142 Johnston St, Fitzroy.// Reflections From a Gazan DoctorDr Ezzideen Shehab, a Palestinian physician in northern Gaza, shared his reflections on practicing medicine during Israel's ongoing genocide.
