At their monthly meeting, ACORN Falmouth and Penryn got a running start  on their free parking campaign, and launched a new collaboration with the Popular Struggle Coordination Committee- selling t-shirts to benefit the PSCC’s work in Palestine.

This month, ACORN Cardiff kept the momentum building on their outreach efforts when they visited Channel View Tower block to speak with residents and listen to their concerns, while simultaneously educating people on their rights as renters. Every human deserves safe, dry, and warm housing!

After months of hard work, ACORN Brighton scored a major win when they secured  a city-council backed crackdown on corrupt and negligent landlords, bringing relief to tenants across the city now, and for years to come! ACORN Cambridge and ACORN London teamed up to march directly on the offices of Places for People, who has been the source of over six years of serious housing issues and tenant suffering. This is direct action at work!

Following last month’s successful outreach event, ACORN Cardiff marched on Letting Station offices to demand repairs and compensation for a member living with severe mould and other issues. As we build our community, we build our power!  

ACORN Cambridge rallied a group of tenants at Radiance House, citing urgent issues such as mould, excessive heat, and concerns around fire safety. Representatives from housing association Places for People, which lets flats within the building, were invited but did not attend – a spokesperson said they encourage residents to raise issues through the complaints process. With ACORN behind them, these residents continue to fight for safe and fair housing!
