Join the #BuildBackBetter campaigns
A true recovery isn’t about putting things back together the way they were. Instead, it is about aligning markets with the natural, social and economic systems, building resilience, driving equitable and sustainable growth, and reinventing capitalism itself. Read about this here.
The Build Back Better campaigns channel the community spirit into rebuilding society for the better, by urging the government to provide a new deal that puts people, not profits, first. It brings together a broad range of organisations including NGOs, unions, businesses and health workers to campaign for a recovery that protects public services, creates good jobs, tackles inequality and the climate crisis. See the main websites at www.buildbackbetteruk.org and www.buildbackbetter.org.uk.
