About us
Who we are
After 40 years, privatisation of our public services has failed. It's time for public ownership. We use it, we pay for it, we own it.
We Own It campaigns against privatisation and for 21st century public ownership. We believe public services belong to all of us - from the NHS to schools, water to energy, rail to Royal Mail, care work to council services.
Privatisation keeps failing - but there are lots of brilliant examples of public ownership we can learn from in the UK and around the world. Public ownership is incredibly popular. It will save money for the public purse, improve people's lives and help us tackle the climate crisis.
Our culture and values
We Own It is completely independent of any political party - our only policy is public services for people not profit. The majority of our funders are individual donors.
We will never endorse any particular politician or party. What we will do is to praise politicians of all stripes when they promote public ownership. We will criticise them when they push privatisation.
We will help voters understand whether politicians have committed to public ownership, or whether they are still backing the failed ideology of privatisation.
