What is the point in this? ACORN has secured more from our direct action over the summer than will be achieved by these boards, people don’t want another layer of bureaucracy they want water and other utilities to stop wringing money out of them
🚨 NEW: Andy Burnham says he will introduce 8 "regional water councils" to oversee water companies
"For the first time, local people will have a real say over what they need from their water company, whether that's cleaning up polluted rivers or building new reservoirs"

🚨 Today we took the fight to those who are profiting from the cost of living crisis at our expense. Water companies, energy giants, bailiffs & property tycoons. Coordinated actions in 9 regions across 2 countries. These profiteers think they’re untouchable, but they’re not.

🥾BOOT THE BAILIFFS - on Tuesday we tried to speak to Coventry City Council about the cruelty and waste of their use of private bailiffs in Cov, but they refused to speak to us. @Grace_Lewis18 however met with us and has pledged support for our campaign DIGNITY NOT DEBT!

After months of being ignored, we took our demands straight to Leeds Civic Hall.
We secured a meeting with Cllr Asghar Khan to hold him to account on the council use of bailiffs.
Direct action works.

🚨GREAT NEWS FOR RENTERS🚨
Last night, we defeated last-ditch amendments that would have weakened tenants' rights and shifted power back towards landlords.
The Bill now just needs sign-off from the Commons (and the King) before becoming the Renters' Rights Act!

He spoke to us about his work resisting Israel’s illegal settler colonialism with ACORN affiliate @PSCC_Palestine✊
Homes unaffordable and rents are skyrocketing, landlords are part of this problem driving up the supply but we need affordable housing and rent control for all now!
In London, the average home was not affordable for any household income decile.
In three other regions (South East, East of England & South West), the average home was only affordable to the top decile.

The man-made famine in Gaza is now officially recognised months after Israel’s deliberate starvation campaign was obvious. The most preventable famine in history, unfolding in plain sight and we won’t forget our government armed, funded and gave it cover.
BREAKING: A famine has officially been confirmed in Gaza City and the surrounding neighbourhoods
