'He's just a guy' - Marvin Rees, former Mayor of Bristol.
ACORN Bristol Head Organiser.

[ACORN the union @ACORNunion]

Bailiffs tried (for the second time!) to evict our member and his four children in Bristol. Not on our watch😎

Read the coverage here! (🧵)

Less than 48 hours is all that stood between this family and the protection afforded by the abolition of Section 21 on the 1st of May.

Now Linsey and her four children face being forced out of their home through no fault of their own. We’re calling on Holy Trinity Properties Trust to reconsider this eviction.

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

[ACORN Bristol @ACORN_Bristol]

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.

[Bristol Citizen @bristol_citizen]

And avoiding the public's questions is not democratic. Sorts yourselves out:

"This is the political class closing ranks"

[Isaac_kh @isaac_kh]

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

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?

[ACORN the union @ACORNunion]

What a team

[ACORN Bristol @ACORN_Bristol]

We had a busy branch meeting this week. Lots of discussion, decisions, and action planning. And some very tasty soup ❤️. https://t.co/vU2qnfZvqW

[Sam Kidel ACORN @SamKidel]

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 dad did ONE simple thing that bailiffs HATE

He joined ACORN: https://t.co/ly4it98YUn

[ACORN Bristol @ACORN_Bristol]

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.

Love to see ACORN Bristol members showing up bailiffs as the clowns they are ❤️‍🔥

[ACORN Bristol @ACORN_Bristol]

😂 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!

A beautiful sight: the council chambers run by the people❤️‍🔥

[ACORN Bristol @ACORN_Bristol]

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 ✊

[Sam Kidel ACORN @SamKidel]

Come for one, you'll face us all ✊️

[ACORN Bristol @ACORN_Bristol]

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

[Sam Kidel ACORN @SamKidel]

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

[Bristol Citizen @bristol_citizen]

Former youth club in Knowle West could be demolished soon despite election pledge:

Are you fucking joking

This bailiff clearly dreams of being the sheriff. Pathetic

On ACORN turf bootlickers who fuck around, find out 🤣

[ACORN Sheffield @acorn_sheffield]

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 💪
