🚩Last weekend ACORN members paid a visit to Holbrook Moran Estate Agents after they left tenants at risk of death after a fire broke out in the building they were living in with inadequate fire escapes. There's also damp, mould, rodents and repairs that they have refused to fix

🚨 The Renters’ Rights Bill has now received Royal Assent.
From ACORN's very first meeting in Bristol over a decade ago, we identified ending unfair evictions as a key demand for our campaigning and a key wrong to right for our class.

🚨 This is a huge victory for the organised tenant movement after YEARS of organising.
We need to go further, and we’ll keep fighting for more, but the biggest change to renters rights in a generation is worth celebrating.
This wasn’t handed to us from above, we won it💪

The Renters' Rights Bill has been APPROVED by the House of Commons!
This is the final step before the Bill receives Royal Assent, which we expect shortly.
No more amendments, no more debate - renters' rights are coming.

Imagine being unwelcome at your own conference! 300 ACORN members took over, and the bailiffs ran. No posh free lunch for you while the people you bully, harass and intimidate go without so they can feed their kids.

Homes are for people, not profiteers!
Landlords are openly breaking the law to turn homes into year-round Airbnbs while we can’t find anywhere affordable to live.
They’re being allowed to game the system while families are pushed out of their own cities and communities. Enough. Homes are for people, not profiteers.

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.
