John, a powerful group of MPs are asking what we think, and we want to give them our message loud and clear - the post-Covid economy should put public health before private wealth.
The Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) committee is made up of MPs from different political parties. They’re running a ‘Super Inquiry’ into our post-Covid economy.
Nearly 2000 Positive Money heroes have already backed our five demands for a fairer economy. The more of us who sign before the deadline on Monday, the more chance they’ll listen to us. Please will you show your support by signing our statement now? |

Below’s the email we sent you a few days ago with more information about this opportunity. Thank you for all you do,

Dear John,
It’s full-on inquiry season in parliament and we’ve spotted another big chance to get our voices heard. A new super-inquiry is looking for new policy ideas to help our economy build back better after Covid - and we’ve got exactly what they need.
We’ve spent years fine tuning our demands, and we’re more than just a think tank - we’re a people-powered campaign too. So let’s submit a statement signed by thousands of us, outlining 5 key policies for a fairer, better economy. By adding your name today, together we can prove to MPs just how popular our ideas are. |

Prioritise wellbeing over profit, invest in green jobs, attach social and environmental conditions to public bailouts, and use the Bank of England’s money creation powers for good - this is how we fix our broken economy.
PoMo’s economists have worked out the details, now together, we need to get them into the hands of people who have the power to make them happen. And this new Post-Pandemic Economic Growth committee is the perfect opportunity. [1]
The Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) committee is made up of MPs from three political parties and it’s their job to pressure the government to rewire our economy.
We know what our future economy should look like, but ideas alone are not enough. We need to grab their attention. The more names we have supporting these ideas, the more likely MPs will listen and the more likely we’ll win.
Help us show MPs exactly what Positive Money is fighting for: a path to net-zero growth and a money and banking system that serves people and the planet. |
