"A new protest group operating under the slogan tax the rich has made headlines after a series of high-profile stunts at major London landmarks. Take Back Power describes itself as a new non-violent civil resistance group calling for the Government to establish a permanent citizens' assembly with powers to tax extreme wealth in the UK. It has promised to mobilise hundreds of activists to stage a series of protests in Spring next year."
"The group appears to have emerged in the wake of Just Stop Oil's decision to disband in April, after the Government adopted its demand to halt new oil and gas exploration licences. Take Back Power appears to have moved in to fill the vacuum left by JSO, using similar tactics to garner attention. But what do we know about the new protest group?"
Take Back Power is a new non-violent civil resistance group campaigning under the slogan tax the rich and planning high-profile protests in London. The group calls for a permanent citizens' assembly with powers to levy taxes on extreme wealth in the UK. Take Back Power focuses primarily on wealth inequality and links it to rising homelessness, child hunger, river pollution, and a lack of affordable housing. The group emerged after Just Stop Oil disbanded and has redirected attention toward taxing the ultra-rich. The group sent a letter to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer warning of brewing social unrest amid growing inequality.
