Thanks for signing up to support 21st century public ownership.
Your public services are precious. Your NHS. Your water and energy. Your probation service. Your public transport. Your council services. They belong to you, me and everyone.
You pay for them, you use them, you rely on them. You should own them.
But right now, they’re working for a handful of shareholders. Privatisation has been failing you for 30+ years.
What's your story?
Maybe you're
angry to see your rivers polluted by private companies that put profit first?
fed up by ever rising train fares?
frustrated by Chris Grayling's privatisation of probation?
a parent who wants a say over your child's academy?
isolated by bus cuts from private operators who prioritise shareholders over services?
part of a community group that's trying to connect a renewables project to the privatised National Grid?
passionate about keeping our NHS public?
campaigning locally to stop outsourcing of your council's services?
Whoever you are, if you’re rising up, you're a real challenge to the damaging ideology of privatisation.
You are going to change the situation.
If you believe in public ownership, you’re not alone.
84% of us want a publicly owned NHS
83% want publicly owned water
77% want publicly owned energy
76% want a publicly owned railway
Public services are about people coming together to care for each other. We believe they're the best thing human beings have ever invented.
Let's take them back and make them work for everyone.
It's time to take action. Get your stories and opinions out there to show support for and snowball this movement. And campaign together for public ownership to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
If your brain knows: privatisation doesn’t work, here's the evidence.
If your gut says: shareholders aren't on your side.
If your heart feels: public services are wonderful and they belong to all of us, we should take them back.
..you've come to the right place!
Thanks for joining a community of your people - people who know in their brains, guts and hearts the value of PUBLIC services - and that privatisation doesn't work.
And if you've got family or friends who feel the same, please forward them this email.
Together, step by step, we can create a world where public services put people before profit.
We’d love to stay in touch in whatever way works best for you.
You can read my story on our website and this speech explains why I care so much. Maybe like you, I believe public services are the best, most civilised, wonderful thing that human beings have ever invented.
