Great time this morning talking about how we build more power across Oxford! Looking forward to updating you, @thehannahling!
We enjoyed reflecting on a passage from @gecaniaf’s Going Public.

"Labour will not revoke existing licences and we will partner with business and workers to manage our existing fields for the entirety of their lifespan. Crucially, oil and gas production in the North Sea will be with us for decades to come" - Labour manifesto 2024
BTW the average expiry date of oil and gas drilling licenses are 30 years.
60% of the UK's current gas production is exported to the highest bidder.
80% of North Sea oil is exported.

[Organizing for Power @o4p_global]

With broken hearts we announce the passing of Jane McAlevey @rsgexp: founder, lead trainer, heart & soul of our global training program. You will be so missed. And may this elegy serve as a commitment: that your legacy serve as the building blocks for our victories to come.

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💪💯

Being involved with @CitizensUK General Election Assembly was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had

[Small Axe @thesmallaxeorg]

This #GE2024, here’s some of what we’ve been up to for the last six weeks at Small Axe. From voter registration to school funding, we’ve been behind the scenes pushing for progressive change🧵

[Small Axe @thesmallaxeorg]

Working with @CitizensUK & @MigrantDemos, we built & promoted the Can I Vote? tool far and wide, helping migrants learn they have voting rights in the UK https://t.co/8BFMoMJbwU

[Citizens UK @CitizensUK]

🚨 The polls indicate a more than likely chance of spotting #dogsatpollingstations today 🚨

If you needed another reason to vote THIS IS IT.

- Also everyday people have the power to win change and together we can hold the next Government to account 🔥 Don't forget your photo ID

[Citizens UK @CitizensUK]

At our national #GeneralElection assembly we heard powerful responses from politicians on issues that matter to communities. Should they be elected, they've agreed to work with us on #LivingWage, #Citizenship, #Housing & more.

So, what was said? 🧵 (1/16)

[Citizens UK @CitizensUK]

@saragezdari We’re campaigning for #VotesAt16 and asked politicians to ensure that 16 year olds have the right to vote by the next General Election.
@RichardNewby3
supported this: “we’ve been campaigning for votes at 16 for many years…they should have that chance”. (13/16)

[Sara Bryson @SaraBryson1]

Great to get these commitments @CitizensUK General Election Assembly https://t.co/APXAPJbB4p

'We care because our neighbour’s struggle is our struggle.'

Great to be at the @CitizensUK General Election Assembly last night - over 2,000 people representing 500 organisations across England and Wales standing in solidarity for a better future. Organised people = power.

[Citizens UK @CitizensUK]

"I’m Hannah Ling from Oxford Diocese, @CitizensThames. Our churches support refugees daily & we have welcomed 207 Ukrainians with the Homes for Ukraine scheme. We want to build our #CommunitySponsorship scheme, ensuring it includes eligible refugees of all nationalities."

[Citizens UK @CitizensUK]

@AngelaRayner Thank you @AngelaRayner for listening to Citizens UK community leaders and being receptive to our solutions and ideas for change.

We are excited to continue working with you should you be elected!

[Varndean School @VarndeanSchool]

Ready for the General Election Assembly ⁦@CitizensUK⁩ #centralhall

[UCL Policy Lab @UCLPolicyLab]

The Lab team were thrilled to be with @CitizensUK for their general election assembly tonight. Such wonderful energy in the room.

[Hannah Ling @thehannahling]

Facing injustice alone is isolating, demotivating, & exhausting, but tonight illustrated the solidarity & power of coming together 💪 Fantastic to be at the @CitizensUK assembly this eve to celebrate our achievements & present our manifesto to the 3 biggest UK political parties🗳

[Will Brett @williamdbrett]

At Methodist Central Hall for the ⁦@CitizensUK⁩ General Assembly. I will never fail to be impressed by how they can fill a massive room for a political event.
