East London (TELCO)
TELCO Citizens
Who are we?
We are TELCO Citizens (The East London Citizens Organisation), the founding Chapter of Citizens UK. 50,000 people form our alliance from schools, universities, churches, mosques, migrant groups and other community organisations.
Together, we organise to tackle injustice in our local communities.
Our alliances are in Barking and Dagenham, Hackney, Newham, Redbridge, Tower Hamlets and Waltham Forest.
Since our founding in 1996, we have:
- Pioneered the Living Wage campaign in the UK.
- Organised to ensure London’s 2012 Olympics had jobs, housing and Living Wage legacy.
- Won London’s first Community Land Trust.
- And much more!
What are we fighting for?
The priority issues voted on by members in our community include:
- Affordable housing.
- Ending homelessness.
- A real Living Wage.
- Fair Energy for our communities.
- Health.
- Climate justice for local communities.
