International working class solidarity is not dead while ACORN operates. We will not stand by while British companies profit from the slaughter & misery in Gaza.

Inspiring to hear from organisers around the world this weekend, from UK and Europe to South America and Africa. Wether it's organising eviction resistances, fighting for national rent controls or taking direct action with street vendors and plantation workers. ACORN forever❤️x
Every Acorn affiliate, staff, and member is an absolute powerhouse. We're building working class power from Scotland to Wales to Liberia on issues of improved housing, better public infrastructure, and clean drinking water. Our organising model and members lead us to victory 🚩

An absolute privilege to host ACORN’s sister unions from across the world this weekend. From England to Peru, Wales to Cameroon, ACORN is building power and fighting for our communities. One organisation. One class. One struggle.

ACORN's global organizers and leaders convened to share their knowledge. Nearly 60 passionate activists gathered in Shepley, West Yorkshire to tackle issues from tenant victories to international campaigns for workers' rights, the impact of ACORN's work was undeniable.
👊 Successful eviction resistance from @acornharingey this morning. Bailiffs sent on their way. While the government is betraying renters and delaying the ban on no fault evictions, ACORN members will be in the streets keeping people in their homes!
As part of CATU's Campaigns, we are giving voice to our members. Today Jack from Cork is speaking. Jack would like to add that after their AirBnB stay, they stayed with their friend Kian and mam Mary for 2 weeks before they found their current house.
This is the cruelty our members face every single day. This is the reality of having a housing system that prioritises profit over all else.

Exciting News! We're in full swing organizing a strong community union in Melbourne! Our members are currently an active organizing force with their communities, addressing issues, strategizing for real change, and launching an outreach campaign. Stay tuned @ACORN_Australia

Throwback to 2018 to when we occupied some banks… 📄 NatWest and TSB wrote “NO DSS”clauses in to their buy-to-let mortgage contracts. Our members took action and BOTH banks quickly removed them 👊

Acorn Foundation for the Poor carried out her first humanitarian/charity project, by distributing over 50 pairs of school uniforms to one of the many less privileged school in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state, Nigeria 🇳🇬
Over half of private tenants are one paycheque away from losing their home. Our housing should not be this precarious. We need rent controls to BRING RENTS DOWN.

An amazing Public Housing workshop yesterday hosted by our Dublin comrades. There has never been a greater need for Public Housing! @CatuIreland is building real community led power across the country! 🟢
ACORN members participating in a civics workshop last night before planning actions on rent control! Join us to get involved in your community and fight for the things that matter to YOU!
Yesterday was the biggest day of industrial action in Amazon’s 3 decade history, with strike action and protests talking place in over 30 countries. We were at the UK’s biggest strike to show our solidarity. Over 1000 workers walked out. An injury to one is an injury to all🤝
Proud to welcome new & returning members of @ACORNunion’s national Board. In October we elected 150 members to leadership positions all across our organisation. Our investment in and commitment to genuine democracy is ironclad. Our union has never been bigger or stronger.

You're telling fibs here joe. 7% is the CAP on social rent increases, not the average increase. Average asking price for new private lets is 10.4%. We've had members receive a 66% increase, something that rent control would obviously stop.
Rent controls? Hmm... PRS is NOT rent controlled and rents up 5.3% last year... cue media outrage! #socialhousing is rent controlled and rents increased by min 7% last year, cue silence! #ukhousing #housing @genrentuk @ACORNunion @Shelter @crisis_uk bbc.co.uk/news/business-…
Landlords have hiked up rent by 111% for 4 bed flats in Glasgow over the last decade. And there are now 27 enquiries per property. We need this government to introduce rent controls and build social housing now.

Everything is going up - except workers' wages. As our National Secretary, Paul Farrow, says, bargaining for better outcomes is the only way that workers are able to get ahead. #AWU #AWUnion #ausunions #Auspol #unionsaustralia
There are no depths profiteering landlords won't sink to. This man is a war hero who fought to liberate Europe from fascism. While the Tories again delay the #RentersReformBill no fault evictions continue causing misery to hundreds of thousands. Join @ACORNunion and fight back.
Our members in Islington spent the last month's knocking doors, postering, doing stalls and even making local papers! And ofc recruiting loads of dues-paying members ready to fight back along the way💪 Now they're ready to launch their ACORN group. No shortcuts, just hard graft!
Our union never sleeps🫡 Last week: @AcornCoventry resisted the eviction of our member and their family! @AcornNorwich won repairs and compensation for our member. And @Cambridge_ACORN and @ACORN_Brighton both took action against dodgy estate agents to defend our members!
