Things are hard for millions of us right now. The cost of living crisis continues to loom large, driven by stagnant wages, soaring inflation, and growing inequality. Over 10 million people are overindebted in the UK, with many forced into debt just to pay for everyday living costs.
Right now, the far right is using this moment to sow division, using concern about the economy to point the finger at migrants and communities of colour. But we won't stand for it.
We must make sure we're laying the blame for this crisis where it truly belongs. Banks, energy companies, high-cost lenders, debt collectors have all exploited this crisis, pushing people deeper into poverty through high interest rates and unjust fees. These are the institutions profiting from the crisis, and they must be held to account.
That’s why we’re signing up to be a part of a movement that has a different message, one that wants to build solidarity and bring communities together, not drive them apart.
