"Health in all policies" is an approach that recognises the impact that every government policy has on its citizens, importantly emphasising that it is not only health policies that affect health (LGA, 2016). The long-term negative psychological, physical and societal impacts of austerity (low/negative public investment) are well established in the academic sociological and epidemiological literatures (e.g. Barr et al., 2015). As a consequence of these discussions we refined the specific aims of Make My City Fair (Birmingham) to: • Challenge austerity: We are clear that austerity is unethical as a political approach, unsuccessful as an economic policy (McKee et al., 2012), and inhuman in its application. For those of us who are too familiar with evidence showing increasing health inequalities over years of austerity and have seen the impact on services we work in and communities we live in, citizen psychology means taking an active stance against austerity.
