Together Declaration

Scrapping the official Digital ID scheme is only the first step We must also stop other government systems like One Login evolving into Digital ID in all but name, through expansion, function creep or the loss of offline alternatives We can make a difference #together

From protests and rallies to leaflets to MP contacts to media to events to social media - we've pushed back hard against Digital ID up and down the UK Let's keep pushing #together

NET ZERO: "What percentage of global climate emissions is Britain responsible for?" Konstantin Kisin Guest: ......... Britain’s contribution to global CO2 emissions is a tiny part of the whole We must scrap Net Zero #NoToNetZero

One Login has quietly expanded across 200+ government functions and processes - many of them obligations people must fulfil, rather than optional "services" - with more planned If people don’t want to use One Login, they must still be able to access essential services another way No one should be forced into a single digital identity system - but up to 8 million company directors are already being pushed into it

Local Together members campaigned hard all over the UK to say: SCRAP DIGITAL ID We can influence things when we take action #together

NET ZERO: "C40 Cities is an opaque organisation coordinating a political agenda without the populations of those cities being included" - Ben Pile C40 Cities pushes extreme Net Zero-inspired policies through city mayors like Sadiq Khan and Andy Burnham when he was Manchester mayor - where is the consent of the public? US billionaire Mike Bloomberg granted $45 million to C40 between 2013 and 2021

DIGITAL ID: "We don’t want a modern version of 'Papers Please' in Britain" - (Louise Mensch) We said SCRAP DIGITAL ID #together - now Andy Burnham says the official scheme is scrapped Now, we must ensure connected systems such as One Login, the GOV UK App and Government Wallet cannot become Digital ID in all but name through expansion, function creep or the erosion of offline alternatives With over a year of non‑stop campaigning on this issue, events, rallies, outreach, hundreds of thousands of leaflets, emailing MPs, posting to Burnham’s office, stunts, & more... We can and HAVE made a difference #together Now we must keep taking action to secure the free future we want

"We want, from the ground (up), people of the UK to stand with one voice and say: not in our name" Nathan Anderson at our 25 April Scrap Digital ID event in Belfast Now we must ensure systems such as GOV UK One Login, the GOV UK App and Government Wallet cannot become Digital ID in all but name through expansion, function creep or the erosion of offline alternatives Stronger #together

"Privacy used to be that power that allowed us to protect ourselves" "When you have unfettered access to everything in a person's life, it becomes very easy to piece together fragments to build any narrative you want" - Naomi Brockwell We need a Digital Bill of Rights to protect freedoms in an ever-changing tech environment #together Clip - Logos network

Think facial recognition tech is nothing to fear if you’ve done nothing wrong? Consider: the Met Police spent four months investigating Times journalist Jack Grove for asking questions about dodgy academic Jason Arday. It later admitted the investigation should never have happened, brushing it off as “dropping the ball”. Give the authorities the power to identify and track everyone, and innocent people will inevitably be wrongly targeted too.

DIGITAL ID: "Digitalising everything means you will lose control over your own life and that of your children" - Tonia Buxton The more power we hand over to tech and government, the less freedom we keep for ourselves and future generations
