Direct action WINS again! After being told L&Q "couldn't give us a date" for repairs, we kept up the pressure until they agreed to send the surveying team out within DAYS to get our doors and windows repaired at Primrose E9 😎💪

The tenants united, will never be defeated! 🚩🚩

As calls for controls on rents become stronger, the attacks on the policy are intensifying.

Even as rents continue to outstrip wage growth, the Institute for Economic Affairs (IEA) has put out claims to oppose the policy.

They are wrong, and here's why... 🏘️🧵[1/9]

Huge news!

[ACORN the union @ACORNunion]

🚨 Campaign Win! 🚨

We’re delighted to announce that following ACORN’s day of action on Saturday, TSB have agreed to drop a rule in their buy-to-let mortgage policy that causes insecurity for renters!

[ACORN the union @ACORNunion]

🚨RENTERS VS THE BANKS🚨

TSB are creating rental insecurity. Their Buy-to-Let mortgage terms mean that tenants cannot be offered contracts of longer than one year.

Today we're taking action at TSB branches across England and Wales demanding they change this policy!

[ACORN the union @ACORNunion]

⛔️ Today, we occupied 30 branches of @TSB across England and Wales.

Here’s why👇

How it started vs How it went 🎉

🚨Eviction win!

@AcornIslington successfully resisted our members high-court eviction this morning - and how fitting on @ACORNunion 10th anniversary 🥳

On Monday 19th February the world lost Louie Herbert - a dear friend and comrade and a founding member of ACORN - following a short illness.

It’s fair to say that there wouldn’t be ACORN as we know it today without Louie. He was there from the very inception in 2013, busy setting up the structures, office space and securing the funding needed to get things moving.

You're perhaps the most dense journo, London has over 30,000 homes empty "long-term". Billionaire investment portfolios treat our city like a playground, practically printing cash keeping homes empty as the line goes up.

We should tax them out of existence.

today the @HouseofCommons events team said they had nowhere I could go to express breastmilk because they are ‘not a modern event space’

Listen to ACORN Hackney member, Sandy, speak about her member defence case and how we took action together as a community union ⬇️⬇️

Interesting - a former No. 10 adviser admits she blocked the Renters (Reform) Bill while in Downing St.

This is what we housing campaigners have been up against - there are parts of the Conservative Party that just do not believe in additional protections for renters.

[Fredi Gentz @FrediGentz]

Something special is happening in north london...

We've had enough of low-quality housing, dodgy landlords running free, and evictions on the rise, so we're standing up for ourselves, getting organised, and fighting back for what's ours.

And we're winning big. Find out how👇

Happy national Muay Thai day to everyone apart from bailiffs and landlords x

[ACORN Bristol @ACORN_Bristol]

Proof council leaders have concealed the truth about how long they've known about dangers at Barton House!

After a question by ACORN member Andy Watt, they've revealed structural issues were known in August 2022.

This is what politicians & journos fail to understand about ACORN. We aren't kindhearted do-gooders helping people out, we're working class people standing up for ourselves. Viv got harrassed by bailiffs, so she led & won a campaign to get rid of them. Because she's ACORN.
