From the Poll Tax to Don't Pay, student rent strikes and beyond — mass refusal has a powerful history in the UK. Millions have collectively opposed unjust taxes and escalating bills through non-payment. This event explores what drives effective mass campaigns and where future movements originate.
Take Back Water invites attendees to examine refusal through the lens of England and Wales's private water industry crises.
The conversation covers why water became a focal point for social struggle, alternate ownership structures, and collective refusal as an organizing strategy.
