Active Campaigns

Fires worth joining

These campaigns need more voices. Each one has practical actions you can take today โ€” from writing a letter to sharing a prompt.

Active โ€” urgent

Right to Repair is a Right

Legislation that would force manufacturers to provide repair parts, software and manuals is moving through Westminster and Holyrood. Public voices in the consultation period matter โ€” right now.

Community Benefit by Default

Any AI infrastructure development that benefits from public land, public energy grid, or public planning processes should provide measurable community benefit in return. Advocate for this standard locally.

Know Your Planning Rights

Open Source for Public Good

Any AI system funded by or used by public bodies should default to open-source principles. Public money should produce publicly accessible tools โ€” not proprietary lock-in.

Start a Campaign

Something happening near you?

The most powerful campaigns are local. A community that knows a place, loves a place, and is willing to fight for it is more credible than any campaign consultant. Here is how to begin.

1

Name the issue clearly

What is happening, where, and who is behind it? A clear, specific statement is the foundation of every successful campaign. Use AI to help you research and articulate it.

2

Understand the process

Is this a planning application? A policy consultation? A procurement decision? Each has different deadlines and different pressure points. Know the rules before you play.

3

Build your evidence

Data, precedents, policy references, expert voices. AI can help you find and synthesise evidence that would have taken weeks to assemble by hand.

4

Gather your community

Who else cares about this place? Who has standing to object? A coordinated community response is exponentially more powerful than individual letters.

5

Bring it to the hearth

Share your campaign here. Other Firewalkers may have faced the same issue in a different place and can share what they learned.

Campaign resources

Everything you need to get started. Free, open, and available to anyone who wants to use them.

The fire only spreads if we carry it.

Join the Firewalkers to receive campaign updates, event invitations, new resources, and connections to others who are asking the same questions about the same places.
