In January 2026, the group held a launch event at detailing their strategy.[5][6] They plan a series of "take backs" in March 2026 involving stealing food from supermarkets to distribute to the local community.[1] In April 2026, they plan a series of sit-ins at high-end shops alongside publicity stunts. Their stated motivation for this is to turn public attention towards inequality, with the aim of decreasing the likelihood of Reform UK winning the next UK general election.[4]
