Last month we threw the gauntlet down at Bristol City Council & we're encouraged that they're now moving in the correct direction on our demands. We won't stop campaigning until Bristol's vulnerable are safe from the bailiff menace, nor will we stop defending our members from them ✊




A few weeks ago ACORN Norwich took action at the Eastern Landlords Association conference. Since then, the landlords have been busy trying to paint themselves as the reasonable people in the room. But as this recording passed to ACORN shows the reality is a little different…

Absolutely outrageous🤬Slurs, homophobic jibes, & "jokes" about using ACORN members, regular workers & renters in our cities, as 'target practice'. We stand in full solidarity with the members of ACORN Norwich, & every person that struggles against such vile actors ✊


Our members are eagerly awaiting Bristol City Council's vote on securing funding for debt advice, part of the household support fund. More debt advice will mean more protection from bailiffs, provided that the council agrees with our campaigns demands... #BootTheBailffs


🚩ACORN WINS🚩 Bristol City Council voted to fund additional staff for debt advice services, agreed to meet with us to discuss reducing bailiffs, & we were repeatedly name-dropped during the vote 😎 We look forward to BCC continuing to meet our demands & the needs of Bristolians ✊



Local Labour group lead, Tom Renhard, voices strong support for our campaign! As a nonpartisan union we do not align ourselves with parties. But we're happy to work with councillors who'll get positive results for our members. Let's see the end of bailiff bullying in Bristol! ✊
