How is started VS how it’s going. We fought and won - the Renter’s Rights Act today marks a massive shift in power for tenants. And it all started in Bristol! ✊Get organised, join ACORN https://t.co/vU2qnfZvqW
Great meeting last night welcoming new members, planning actions, and celebrating that the majority of Bristol City councillors now support our campaign to end bailiff use for council tax debt! ✊

I support women in power, but public office means accountability, not protection from scrutiny. Gender should never be used as a shield from political accountability. Men should feel safe to hold female leaders accountable and should also be protected from false accusations.
This move of politicians, particularly Labour politicians, suggesting that any robust + forthright attempt to challenge them + hold them accountable is in some way physically threatening or even harrasment based on gender is genuinely an insidious attack on free speech
OUR STATEMENT📢
In response to @WestofEnglandCA mayor Helen Godwin & @BristolCouncil leader @TonyDDyer
Labour & Greens have agreed on one thing: politicians shouldn’t be held to account by ordinary people

If you haven't joined yet, ask yourself why..
It's all our responsibility to stand up to bullying politicians, landlords, and bailiffs.
Will you tell your grandkids you stood on the sidelines, or fought for their futures?

They don't want you to know what they're up to ���
They don't want you to point the finger at them ❌
They don't want you to get organised and fight back ❌
If you're in the UK, ACORN is your opportunity ✊
This bailiff turned up to evict a single father and his four kids; as soon as he realised the community were there to confront him all he was interested in was leaving.
We made sure this bully didn't get an easy escape.

😂 Bailiff is confronted by ACORN and runs away with their tail between their legs! 😂
Bailiffs are cowards and the community standing together shows them up for who they really are.
Join us to fight for a Bailiff Free Britain!

MEETING WITH HEAD OF DEBT SECURED!
We seized and occupied Bristol Council chambers, and held our own (very loud) meeting where we told the TRUTH about the council's use of bailiffs.
They're hired thugs, profiting from our misery ☠️
We'll fight until all our members are safe ✊
ACORN member NOT GUILTY after being singled out for our action at Able Enforcements
Able Enforcements director Steve Wood tried to single Wesley out for aggravated trespass
It was thrown out in court!
ACORN members stand against bailiffs every day - join ACORN to stand with us
This is madness - a youth club is sorely needed for the kids of Knowle West and you have a brilliant team of community members at Eagle House ready to take it on
Local ACORN members will raise hell if the wrecking ball's sent in
Councillors say they have learned lessons from the East Bristol Liveable Neighbourhood and the city’s second scheme will be different

ACORN members Kathryn and Tony were told they couldn't have just 4 more days in their house before their new place was ready. They were told a county court bailiff was coming to turf them out.
But they're ACORN members and we were never going to let that happen 💪
As ACORN Bristol secretary Wesley said: 'we're choosing dignity' ✊️
We're declaring war on bailiffs🔥
