Liverpool members met with MPs Paula Barker, Ian Byrne and Kim Johnson who back rent controls and replacing council tax with a fairer system

That is, until ACORN sounded the alarm, scrambling members from across North Liverpool and Bootle, and forced the landlord to return possession. Our members then helped load the van, making sure everything and everyone was moved out safely 💪

🚨 Today we took the fight to those who are profiting from the cost of living crisis at our expense. Water companies, energy giants, bailiffs & property tycoons. Coordinated actions in 9 regions across 2 countries. These profiteers think they’re untouchable, but they’re not.

Wish there was somebody out there who would organise against these rip off utility companies trousering huge profits and not investing in infrastructure?
ACORN is that somebody!

To demand a meeting with @unitedutilities over their sky high bills and bailiff use
They came prepared with police and private security, but they did agree to arrange a meeting 🤝
