Day of Action 1: No one cold or hungry this winter

As Ofgem hiked the energy price cap by a massive 80% on Friday, Don’t Pay groups across the country came together with a clear message: no one cold or hungry this winter!

Tuesday 30 August 2022

From London to Lancaster, Somerset to Sheffield, we held protests, street stalls and did banner drops to spread the word about the strike and build the pledge. With more than 125,000 of us now signed up to the strike pledge, our movement is growing quickly!

Together, we’ll ensure no one goes cold this winter – which means reversing the price cap back to pre-April 2021 rates, ending enforcement of pre-payment meters and bringing in an emergency social tariff to make sure everyone can keep the heating on this winter.
