Listen "#7 | Bin There, Done That, Still Paying for Water "
Episode Synopsis
Apr 14, 2025 |🎙️ What do overflowing bins, skyrocketing water bills, and 24/7 media chaos have in common? They’re all signs it’s time to stop coping and start organising (aka reaching out to your friends).From collective non-payment campaigns pushing back against water privatisation, to the psychological warfare of media saturation, to the lessons learned from Birmingham’s bin strikes — this episode dives deep into the mess. We’re talking privatisation, information overload, and the power of collective action — all with a carne asada at the picket line, of course.And don't forget to check out the fantastic campaigns and orgs mentioned @takeback.water @weownit_campaign @ boycottwaterbills.com @ thecanaryuk @ imapress @ Acorn the Union @ iwgbunion @ unitedvoicesoftheworldKeep listening and catch up with this week's newsletter (on Substack) for even more from the News Club cru!
