Hackney & Islington

Who are we?

We are Hackney and Islington Citizens, a Citizens UK Chapter, part of TELCO (East London Community Organisers) and North London Citizens. 17 members form our alliance, from schools, universities, faith institutions and charities.

Together, we organise to overcome injustice and win change on the things that you and your local communities care about most across the boroughs.

With a history tracing back to Shoreditch Citizens in 2011 and TELCO in 1996, we‘ve successfully campaigned for:

Paid work experience
Resettling 10 refugee families
Damp proofing council homes
200+ laptops & internet during the COVID-19 pandemic for members of our community
And much more!

What are we fighting for?

The priority issues voted on by members in our community include:

Digital inclusion
Fair energy for local communities
Building trust and better relationships with the police
