It's time to think outside the box and imagine a different economy. One not based on capitalism, corporate greed and domination by a few oil, tech and food multinationals.

Because some campaigning areas of our work are not directly income generating, we need to occasionally ask for donations for specific projects.
Ethical Consumer Challenging Corporate Power crowdfunder: Phase 1
We set up a crowdfunder page in September 2025 asking readers to support this exciting new area of our work.
We met our £15,000 target by December 2025 which allowed us to keep researching and publishing on the subject for another 12 months
It also allowed us to set up a roundtable with other NGOs to help take this project forward. The group keeps each other updated on campaigning actions, and were keen on the idea of a manifesto for a comprehensive response to corporate power and happy to advise on its contents and shape.
Challenging Corporate Power crowdfunder and plans: Phase 2
In September 2026 we launched Phase 2, calling for support for some new work on this bold new "manifesto" for a comprehensive response to corporate power.
The manifesto currently has eight main focus areas
1. Ending tax avoidance
2. Breaking up monopolies
3. Increasing legal responsibility of big companies
4. Reducing legal rights for big companies
5. Cutting off access to politicians by big companies
6. Reforming current business models
7. Supporting alternative business models
8. Establishing a co-ordinating body to drive change
We think that with another £15,000 we'll be able to use these magazine pages to research and publish around some of the less-well visited ideas for another year, and to continue working with our roundtable of other groups. We hope to start building a wider coalition too, which is likely to include progressive businesses and trades unions, as well as other campaigners.
