If you're like most people in the UK, you believe privatisation has failed. Whether you're thinking about water or energy, buses or trains, council services or care, Royal Mail or the NHS - a majority of people think these public services belong in PUBLIC ownership.
Privatisation was an extreme ideological experiment. The idea was that private companies must be able to make a profit from EVERYTHING. The experiment has failed - you're paying more and getting less and you don't have accountability over your public services.
Our latest YouTube video gives 10 reasons why privatisation fails. It has 38,000 views and nearly 1000 comments and is reaching new audiences and people around the world. You can watch it here (or read about the 10 reasons on our website).
With your help getting these arguments out, we can grow and win more campaigns.
You and other brave, principled people like you have won lots of victories for public ownership. Right now you're fighting for publicly owned water, pushing back Thames Water's creditors and stopping a new low for sewage in England. You're pushing for rail to be TRULY publicly owned across the UK. And you're fighting for an NHS that works for patients not profits.
Whether you take action online or in real life we are grateful for you putting this issue on the agenda. Whether you've been involved for many years or just discovered us, thank you so much for everything you do! You are having an impact that can't be ignored.
Watch the YouTube video and please do subscribe to We Own It's YouTube channel, like, comment and share to help spread the word.
THANK YOU! You make us a force to be reckoned with!
