Across the UK we’ve seen instances of councillors who rent being expected to excuse themselves from debates on rental issues, yet landlord MPs can vote on these issues while mistreating their tenants. MPs shouldn’t be landlords.

It’s time to kick out the profiteers. The things we need to exist shouldn’t be left in the hands of those whose only goal is profit.

“That is why we must welcome the campaign launched by ACORN. Giving people security in their homes & removing the fear of bailiffs, repossession, or prison for council tax debt, is an essential part of chasing the far right out of our communities.” morningstaronline.co.uk/article/findin…

Every day we’re fighting back against councils who are housing our members in disgraceful housing. Often genuinely unsafe. Social housing is being left to rot in this country. It can’t continue.

ACORN IS AT WAR WITH BAILIFFS. And Bristol has just dealt them a massive blow as ACORN secures a council commitment to drop the use of bailiffs for anyone on benefits. That's 1 in 3 Bristolians protected from these parasites. ACORN will drain the swamp. Bailiff Free Britain.

They want to sell off our data to massive, uncountable tech corporations and infringe on our civil liberties whilst trying to sell it to us as “progress.” Do they think we’re stupid?

We fought for (and won!) a ban on Section 21 evictions, but we’ve had to wait years for it to be implemented. Every day that this has remained in place has seen people forced out of their homes. We welcome the fact that this should soon be implemented - but we won’t forget that!

Our national Bailiff Free Britain campaign is barely a month old and we’re already seeing wins like this. When we stand together and organise in our communities, we can win💪

Israel can flagrantly ignore international law, and kidnap citizens of other countries from international waters, with no real consequence. Sickening.

Protests against genocide = new police powers needed. British citizens illegally kidnapped in international waters = not a matter for the British government. The government have made their position clear repeatedly. They’re on the side of genocide.

This is the consequence of a housing system that puts profit before people. Changing that system is a matter of life and death.

🔥 The days of bailiffs & debt collectors sitting around at conferences, enjoying a buffet, & discussing how to line their pockets at our expense are over. You turn up at our door, we’ll turn up at yours. 🔗 Join the fight for a Bailiff Free Britain: acorntheunion.org.uk/bailiffs/
