Overview
In this podcast series, organizers in the U.K. share stories of being in solidarity to provide life’s necessities. Each episode takes you into a community-led campaign to meet basic needs: from healthy food, affordable housing, and clean water, to renewable energy and access to cultural spaces. We invite listeners to take action. Together, the people can overpower.
Trusting in Genuinely Affordable Housing
There’s nowhere near enough quality, affordable housing in the United Kingdom. In England alone, there are 8.5 million people without housing that meets their needs. What can we do to support quality, affordable housing in our communities? In this episode of People Over Power, we discover how communities can lower housing costs and why you should join one of the 500 community land trusts across England and Wales.
Partners in Providing Nourishing Food
Food security means having enough food to live an active and healthy life. In 2023, 17 percent of UK households had low or marginal food security. How can we support the movement for good food? In this episode of People Over Power, we find out where the food system falls short and why you should get involved with a local food project.
