Let's make it work for people not profit

Dear
John
,

We know the privatised bus and train companies are lobbying for huge bailouts right now.

Instead of giving them billions, this government has the perfect opportunity to bring transport into public ownership and invest for people and planet, not shareholders.

Have you noticed that during lockdown, the streets have been quieter? Many of us have walked and cycled more, discovered more local places and met our neighbours.

And while coronavirus is the crisis now, we know the climate crisis is just around the corner – and we need to decarbonise transport if we’re going to tackle it.

So it’s timely that the government is asking for YOUR opinions on how to make transport climate-friendly.

The consultation deadline is midnight tonight.
Respond on the consultation website now ([link removed])
Read more about We Own It's response here ([link removed]) - we're calling for publicly owned trains, buses and taxis linked up with walking and cycling, copying countries like Switzerland who are already way ahead of us.

The government's consultation covers UK wide transport so although some transport decisions are devolved, it's relevant to you whether you live in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland.

If thousands of us respond, we can push our transport in a better direction. The air we breathe, the safety of our communities and our planet will all be in better shape if we sort out transport.

Take 5 minutes to tell the government your thoughts now before the deadline tonight. ([link removed])

Thank you so much for taking action.

Cat, Ellen, Pascale, Chris and Alice – the We Own It team

PS The consultation website ([link removed]) is fairly easy to use. If you don't have answers to questions, just click next. Please mention in your response that we need public ownership of trains and buses, so we can invest in a better service, not bailouts for private shareholders!
