DON’T PAY was a low-budget campaign aimed at tackling the energy bill crisis.
Starting with a plan scrawled on a beer mat and taking inspiration from both the poll tax struggle and water bill refusal, it was launched at the TUC rally on June 18 2022.
Within five months Don’t Pay had got 250,000 people to pledge to an energy bills strike, 32,000 signed up as “organisers,” received viral media coverage and built a national network of postcode-based WhatsApp groups.
