About this event

On April 21st 2020 at the Copperbox Arena in Stratford, London Citizens will be holding to account our London Mayoral candidates on key areas and asks at an assembly in front of 7000 people.

Housing is a key area, and one in which Citizens has made some incredible wins - from setting up CLTs all over London and ringfencing millions of pounds funding from the GLA, to campaigning for landlord licensing in different boroughs. But there is more we can win.

On Saturday 14th September community leaders from across London will be coming together to talk about the housing issues they are facing and fighting, and meeting with external experts in the field to identify areas to campaign and win change on through the Mayor and the GLA's remit.To do this, however, we need as many leaders as possible to participate. Sign up today and bring members from across your institutions. Lunch will be provided, and please let us know if you have any access requirements (email lucy.delaney@citizensuk.org).

Citizens UK

Citizens UK is the UK’s biggest, most diverse, and most effective people-powered alliance. We’re bringing together everyday people and local organisations to build a better, fairer society.

What is Community Organising?

Community organising is about bringing people together to win change. This means building community-led solutions to big and small problems, that work for everyone.

Through community organising, we work together to make change on the issues that matter, from campaigning for zebra crossings on dangerous roads, to reforming the immigration system, to the Living Wage campaign.

We know everyday people have the ability to shape the world around them and together, we put the power back into people’s hands to hold those responsible to account.

By building positive working relationships between communities, elected power-holders and businesses, we make sure everyone is heard and no one is left out. This is how we shift the balance of power, helping people come together across their differences, find common ground and win change.

Together, we have a proven track record of winning change on the things that you and your community care about most.
