Thanks to all of our campaigners who supported our #ProtecttheFreedomPass campaign. Yesterday with our friends from @UniteLondonEast we visited London Councils offices to show the strong feeling against reviewing the Freedom Pass now or in the future. They listened. 🧵

It was great to meet @debs_wb London's Deputy Mayor for Communities and Social Justice as well as Sue Johnson and Sarah Thompson from the Greater London Authority this afternoon. We all had a really important and positive conversation about ageing in London.
