Housing Solidarity

We call for a radical housing movement as part of broader solidarity against austerity [email protected]

Have to agree here. Corbyn is now PM, shouldn't we hold the resident of No 10 accountable rather than chanting? https://t.co/No2PRLHrYk

Grenfell Tower Campaigners Are So Angry With Police They're Creating Their Own Database Of Victims https://t.co/JqZmFomniZ via @emilydugan

@Auto_SF People marginalised to the point of disappearing.

I am beginning to entertain the horrifying thought that the official Grenfell death toll might never be raised. Imagine what that'd mean...

[The Poisonous Euros Atmosphere Fan @DawnHFoster]

If you can, chuck a few quid to the crowdfunder for Grenfell Action Group and @radicalhousing https://t.co/wngGIM7KrT

[👍 @CLINT419]

Grenfell Tower Death Toll hasn't risen in days, 300+ are still missing. Please don't forget, and don't neglect showing this attention.

[Akala @akalamusic]

It's true, let's not allow #Grenfell to just creep out of the news. Let's keep the pressure on and keep the demand for answers up.

[Housing Solidarity @HouSolidarity]

It makes sense to make them central to our response to the Grenfell fire. I don't know if they want funds, but perhaps we could all ask...

[Housing Solidarity @HouSolidarity]

I should add, Grenfell Action Group is part of the Radical Housing Network and appears to be a local democratic group

[Housing Solidarity @HouSolidarity]

If you're already active then check out the radical housing network

[Housing Solidarity @HouSolidarity]

If you want somewhere to start then search for your local SolFed and check out "stuff your landlord (doesn't want you to know)"

[Housing Solidarity @HouSolidarity]

From these groups we can form networks, but democracy really is key to empowering all those who take part in movements.

[Housing Solidarity @HouSolidarity]

I would strongly recommend those who are looking for a way forward with housing action to work using democratic local groups

[Housing Solidarity @HouSolidarity]

SolFed is in the process of reformulating its housing campaigning, which will in some way be built on its model of local solidarity groups

[Housing Solidarity @HouSolidarity]

I also joined SolFed, the UK section of the anarcho-syndicalist International Workers' Association

[Housing Solidarity @HouSolidarity]

I lived with family, precariously rented, was flooded, then privately rented before moving into housing association housing

[Housing Solidarity @HouSolidarity]

In the years since starting blogging and tweeting as 'housing solidarity' I have stopped squatting and left London.

[Housing Solidarity @HouSolidarity]

We need political action which a) joins together those in various tenures and b) is ideologically opposed to the market

[Housing Solidarity @HouSolidarity]

Each of these struggles face a common enemy, namely the housing market which constantly undermines housing standards, creating scarcity.
