We Are The Economy

We are a coalition of organisations who are coming together to call for more investment in our public services.

We need YOU to help spread the message that public services are not a 'nice to have' but an essential part of a strong economy!

Our key messages are:

We are the economy. It's simply the sum total of our work, purchases and social interactions.
When we are in ill health, poorly educated, living in precarious, poor quality housing and unable to get around due to poor transport links, our lives suffer, our communities suffer - and we are less productive.
Public services (in particular transport, energy and housing) are essential for greening the economy and meeting our climate targets.
We will never have a strong economy unless we invest in public services now.

Use our Messaging Guide in your comms to help spread the message!

We are calling on all political parties to commit to investment in the lifeblood of our society - our essential services - that will improve our lives, reboot our economy, and help us meet our climate targets.
