We Are The Economy
We are a coalition of organisations and high profile individuals who are coming together ahead of the November 2023 Autumn Statement.
Our campaign has 3 key messages:
​
-
The economy is based on people. It is the sum total of our work, purchases and interactions. When we are in ill health, poorly educated, living in precarious housing, unable to get around due to poor transport, we are less productive.
-
Public services are not a ‘nice to have’ that we can only afford when the economy is strong. We will never have a strong economy unless we invest in public services now.
-
Public services (in particular transport, energy and housing) are essential for greening the economy.
​
We are calling on the Chancellor to use this budget to invest in the lifeblood of our society - our essential services - that will improve our lives, reboot our economy, and help us meet our legally obligated climate targets.
