Hackney & Islington Citizens
Who are we?
We are Hackney and Islington Citizens, part of TELCO (East London Community Organisers) and North London Citizens. 17 organisations form our alliance from schools, colleges, universities, churches and campaign charities.
Together, we organise to tackle injustice in our local communities.

- Paid work experience
- Resettling 10 refugee families
- Damp proofing council homes
- 200+ laptops & internet during the COVID-19 pandemic
- And much more!
What are we fighting for?
