Every day the government drags its feet on abolishing Section 21 evictions is another day that families are being turfed out onto the streets by bailiffs. Renters can’t wait any longer.

NEW CAMPAIGN 🚨 Right now, people are pushed into poverty when councils send in bailiffs for council tax debt. But there’s another way. Together, we can stop this. Together, we can have dignity not debt. Together, we can make Britain Bailiff FreeπŸ‘‡ πŸ”— acorntheunion.org.uk/bailiffs/

Bradford + Leeds = unstoppable πŸ’ͺ After our members were threatened and put in a headlock on the first action, we joined ACORN Bradford to stand-up to Locate Properties bullies and demand an apology. Instead, we received a full temper tantrum and some cringy dance moves!

Our first ever national action, hosted right here in LEEDS!! 300 members came together to kick off our Bailiff Free Britain campaign, shut down a conference and force Leeds council to the table! We won’t stand for bailiff terrorising our communities. This is only the beginning

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.
