Power For The People

Power For The People unites UK citizens’ concerns about fuel poverty, energy security and climate change to challenge the monopoly power of the ‘big six’ energy companies. Together, we are popularising the commonsense idea of public ownership of energy production and supply in the UK. Together with our ‘sister campaign’ Bring Back British Rail, we aim to point to the pitfalls of the privatisations of the ’80s and ’90s which are now wreaking havoc in our day-to-day lives. www.powerforthepeople.org

New Campaign Campaigns

  • Public Ownership of Scotland’s Energy
    Privatised energy has failed citizens. For evidence please see: www.weownit.org.uk/evidence/energy Meanwhile, the Referendum on Independence has created an inspiring re-engagement in politics across Scotland and some brilliant ideas about what sort of society we should work together to create. Now that all the drama is finally over, it is essential we keep the pressure up and utilise the 'new powers' to make these ideas a reality. New books such as 'Common Weal' (2014) and 'Yes: The Radical Case for Scottish Independence' (2014) both foreground the need for the Democratic Public Ownership of our essential services and infrastructure, in order to move towards a green economy and a more just society. Therefore, this petition has been created alongside another to the Minister for Transport demanding the Public Ownership of Scotland’s Railway. Please sign both and share the links below to help spread the word: https://you.38degrees.org.uk/p/publicrailwayscotland https://you.38degrees.org.uk/p/publicenergyscotland This petition is supported by: http://www.bringbackbritishrail.org/images/pftp_supporters.png To add your organisation to this list, please use the 'Contact User' button above.
