π Want to #ventyourrent π’? π Outraged by housing policies that lead to social cleansing? π Or just think it's all a bit unfair?
Come and talk to our good friends Colchester Renters - Vent Your Rent at #ifitswrongchangeit TOMORROW: link in bio.
But who are they? π Colchester Renters formed last year from activists, trade unionists and previously non political members, unified by the social injustice which is experienced by so many,
Non access to a safe, secure, really affordable home.
Being a grassroots, A political community group the initial aims are having regular activity to reach out, make connections, form bonds and build a group through shared experience, knowledge, member support and collective action. π It's a group learning process towards realising people power!Challenging landlords, agents, bureaucrats can be daunting and intimidating to isolated individuals but group support can give energy and confidence to achieve positive outcomes. π Since formation we've supported individuals in difficult situations, gathered support for national campaigns, run surveys and held a successful event to highlight the scandal of social cleansing and the Grenfell tragedy called Inspire2resist π We recently hosted a community organising introduction by the @neweconomicsfoundation and hope to book enough people to run full training sessions in the near future.
