Bailiffs tried (for the second time!) to evict our member and his four children in Bristol. Not on our watch😎 Read the coverage here! (🧵)
Less than 48 hours is all that stood between this family and the protection afforded by the abolition of Section 21 on the 1st of May. Now Linsey and her four children face being forced out of their home through no fault of their own. We’re calling on Holy Trinity Properties Trust to reconsider this eviction. Sign the petition: change.org/p/no-fault-no-…
How is started VS how it’s going. We fought and won - the Renter’s Rights Act today marks a massive shift in power for tenants. And it all started in Bristol! ✊Get organised, join ACORN acorntheunion.org.uk/join/
Great meeting last night welcoming new members, planning actions, and celebrating that the majority of Bristol City councillors now support our campaign to end bailiff use for council tax debt! ✊ Join at acorntheunion.org.uk/join/
I support women in power, but public office means accountability, not protection from scrutiny. Gender should never be used as a shield from political accountability. Men should feel safe to hold female leaders accountable and should also be protected from false accusations.
And avoiding the public's questions is not democratic. Sorts yourselves out:
Aggression is not activism, and tactics designed to intimidate politicians have no place in our society.
"This is the political class closing ranks"
This move of politicians, particularly Labour politicians, suggesting that any robust + forthright attempt to challenge them + hold them accountable is in some way physically threatening or even harrasment based on gender is genuinely an insidious attack on free speech
UPDATE: @ACORN_Bristol have hit back, defending their actions & said Helen Godwin's claim to be 'trapped' was 'particularly odd'. Read the full story here: bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-n…
OUR STATEMENT📢 In response to @WestofEnglandCA mayor Helen Godwin & @BristolCouncil leader @TonyDDyer Labour & Greens have agreed on one thing: politicians shouldn’t be held to account by ordinary people Had enough? Join ACORN: acorntheunion.org.uk/join/
If you haven't joined yet, ask yourself why.. It's all our responsibility to stand up to bullying politicians, landlords, and bailiffs. Will you tell your grandkids you stood on the sidelines, or fought for their futures?
🔥 ACORN is building a movement that is fighting and winning for our communities and our class. If you want to fight back, join ACORN today. 🔗 acorntheunion.org.uk/join
What a team
We had a busy branch meeting this week. Lots of discussion, decisions, and action planning. And some very tasty soup ❤️. acorntheunion.org.uk/join/
They don't want you to know what they're up to ❌ They don't want you to point the finger at them ❌ They don't want you to get organised and fight back ❌ If you're in the UK, ACORN is your opportunity ✊
This dad did ONE simple thing that bailiffs HATE He joined ACORN: acorntheunion.org.uk/join/
This bailiff turned up to evict a single father and his four kids; as soon as he realised the community were there to confront him all he was interested in was leaving. We made sure this bully didn't get an easy escape. #bristol #bailifffreebritain #runforestrun
Love to see ACORN Bristol members showing up bailiffs as the clowns they are ❤️🔥
😂 Bailiff is confronted by ACORN and runs away with their tail between their legs! 😂 Bailiffs are cowards and the community standing together shows them up for who they really are. Join us to fight for a Bailiff Free Britain! acorntheunion.org.uk/join/
A beautiful sight: the council chambers run by the people❤️🔥
MEETING WITH HEAD OF DEBT SECURED! We seized and occupied Bristol Council chambers, and held our own (very loud) meeting where we told the TRUTH about the council's use of bailiffs. They're hired thugs, profiting from our misery ☠️ We'll fight until all our members are safe ✊
Come for one, you'll face us all ✊️
ACORN member NOT GUILTY after being singled out for our action at Able Enforcements Able Enforcements director Steve Wood tried to single Wesley out for aggravated trespass It was thrown out in court! ACORN members stand against bailiffs every day - join ACORN to stand with us
This is madness - a youth club is sorely needed for the kids of Knowle West and you have a brilliant team of community members at Eagle House ready to take it on Local ACORN members will raise hell if the wrecking ball's sent in
Former youth club in Knowle West could be demolished soon despite election pledge: bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-n…
Are you fucking joking
Councillors say they have learned lessons from the East Bristol Liveable Neighbourhood and the city’s second scheme will be different bristol247.com/news-and-featu…
Reeves' rented properties should be repossessed and used to house homeless people
ACORN London members Shut Down Southwark Council Over Rachel Reeves Licencing Scandal! 📢 Support our campaign here 👇 acornuk.good.do/london/finerac…
This bailiff clearly dreams of being the sheriff. Pathetic On ACORN turf bootlickers who fuck around, find out 🤣
ACORN members Kathryn and Tony were told they couldn't have just 4 more days in their house before their new place was ready. They were told a county court bailiff was coming to turf them out. But they're ACORN members and we were never going to let that happen 💪
