It was a packed room at @windsorcliveps for our energy action workshop with @NEA_cymru today. Ideas were flowing about how communities can take action to keep our homes warm and healthy. #fuelpovertyawarenessday

Our Housing Action Team met Cardiff West MP @ABarrosCurtis in London recently to discuss our @CitizensUK home repair & upgrade campaign. With others from across the UK, they also developed an Energy Action Workshop. It launches today with @NEA_Cymru on #fuelpovertyawarenessday

Community leaders in alliances like
@tynewearcitizen, @LeedsCitizens, Liverpool Citizens & many more are reaching out to mosques, migrant organisations, neighbours and friends to offer support. We must keep organising together for inclusion, justice and the common good.

Statement from our collective Citizens UK chapters. We know our own alliance in Cardiff is not immune to the consequences of the violence and hate enacted in the last few days, and we stand in solidarity with all those affected. Hate has no place here.

[Citizens UK @CitizensUK]

Citizens UK’s diverse coalition of civil society leaders and organisations stand united against all forms of hate and violence. We unequivocally condemn the racist and Islamophobic attacks seen across England over the last few days.

Congratulations newly elected MPs!

This week @AngelaRayner & others pledged to work with Citizens UK on issues that matter to our communities.

We're ready to build on existing relationships like these & foster new ones with all elected officials.

Everyday people win change💪💯

Most men in the UK only got the right to vote in 1918 with the Representation of the People Act. Women over 21 only got the right to vote in 1928. Your vote is precious and has been hard-won. Your vote matters.
Do vote! #ThisIsWhatAPriestLooksLike

[Cardiff Citizens @CardiffCitizens]

We couldn't agree more with our favourite Butetown head teacher.
#vote

[Nicki Prichard 🧡 @mrsnprichard]

I will never take for granted being able to vote - it’s a real privilege. Whatever result we wake up to tomorrow, I hope the percentage of people exercising their right to vote is high. Naive perhaps … but heartfelt @JoCoxFoundation @CardiffCitizens @SouthCardiffMA

[Citizens UK @CitizensUK]

Last night we held our national Citizens UK General Election Assembly, where community leaders shared testimony and asked politicians from different Parties for change on #LivingWage, #Citizenship, #Housing & more.

Here are some of their stories 👇🏾

"When I moved into my Council home, there was mould on the walls that has now spread to every room, which impacts my health.

The next Government must introduce a UK-wide home repair & upgrade strategy to make our homes safer, healthier, & greener," Helen @CardiffCitizens

[Cardiff Citizens @CardiffCitizens]

Incredibly powerful to see @CitizensUK 18 founded chapters, 5 new/building chapters, and our projects all on stage last night. Together we represent 2 million people.

[Angela Rayner @AngelaRayner]

The power of change rests in your hands.

By bringing communities together we can deliver it.
