Thames Valley
Thames Valley Citizens
Who are we?
We are Thames Valley Citizens, a Citizens UK Chapter. 6,000 people form our alliance from schools, churches, mosques, diaspora groups, a green alliance and LGBT+ group.
Now we are growing across Thames Valley, with an alliance in MK (Milton Keynes) and others forming in Oxford and Reading.
Together, we organise and tackle injustices in our local communities.
Since our founding in 2010, we have successfully campaigned to get:
- 48 employers to pay the real Living Wage.
- 8 accredited Refugees Welcome schools.
- 253 Redway improvements (pedestrian/cycle ways) and a new Bus Passengers Charter agreed by Arriva Buses.
What are we fighting for?
The priority issues voted on by members in our community include:
- Thames Valley Police to be carbon neutral by 2030.
- Making misogyny a hate crime by law.
- Building bridges between police and young people.
- Thames Valley Police to become an accredited real Living Wage employer.
