Award 28: Make Them Pay

The Climate Justice Coalition commissioned Billie O’Naire from the People's Props Department for the Make Them Pay March with support from Artcry.

The march brought together thousands of people from across a broad, intersectional movement for justice. Individuals, communities and organisations across climate, economic, racial, gender, social and workers’ struggles coming together. The coalition aims to combat the rise of the far right, climate denial and soaring rises in poverty as an interconnected issues.

The march kicked off plans for 2026 so watch this space

"The energy, creativity and solidarity throughout the march and speeches showed the real power of our humanity and community – the perfect antidote to the hatred and division sown by the far-right and their billionaire backers. As billionaire wealth continues to grow, inequality soars and polluters wreck our planet, we'll keep fighting for a better, fairer future for all." - Make Them Pay

This billionaire puppet gave the march a figurehead, creating a giant participatory image of thousands of people carrying along a lone billionaire.
