Campaign Lab
27th September 2013 | News
Ellie Harrison who founded the Bring Back British Rail campaign in 2009, has been awarded a place on the prestigious Campaign Lab course, in order to help develop and launch the Power For The People campaign.
Campaign Lab in a nine-month course for economic justice campaigners, which is facilitated by the New Economics Foundation, the Public Interest Research Centre and Finance Innovation Lab.
From October 2013 – June 2014, Ellie will work alongside 25 other campaigners (from the TUC, Friends of the Earth, Unite, People and Planet, The People’s Assembly, 350.org, Zero Carbon Britain, the High Pay Centre, the Equality Trust, ShareAction, Christian Aid and 38 Degrees) to build a powerful and robust campaign that has the strength to take on the ‘big six’ energy companies and convince politicians that public ownership is the only solution for achieving long-term energy security and a zero-carbon future.
Join the new national movement to #takebackwater 💧✊💧 It’s time to turn the tide on 40 years of privatisation and failure.
💧💧 We're building a movement to Take Back Water.

↪ We’ll launch bigger and longer waves of financial disobedience for as long as it takes whilst building our collective power in every community.
↪ This is a low risk action and we need to take it collectively. Before we strike, we’ll help you join a “strike circle” – a group of at least 5 people striking in your region – so you can support each other.
↪ We know that public ownership has a popular mandate therefore through our actions we will make the government respond to this new political reality.
↪ We want to build large citizens assemblies across the country to discuss, debate, and participate in the creation of a new democratic plan for real public ownership of water as a service and not a commodity.
↪ But we know without a leverage we are powerless. Co-ordinated, mass financial disobedience is a way where we can make it clear to parasitical share holders and private equity companies that the days of privatised water are over. ... See MoreSee Less
