West London
West London Citizens
Who are we?
We are West London Citizens, a Citizens UK Chapter. 6,000 people form our alliance from schools, universities, trade unions, faith groups, charities and community groups. Together, we organise and campaign on issues affecting our local communities.
Since our founding in 2005, we have:
- Successfully campaigned for Heathrow Airport and Westfield Shopping Centre to become Living Wage employers.
- Started the Mass for Migrants movement in 2006 – which continues to this day.
- And much more!
What are we fighting for?
We are rebuilding the alliance at the moment, so we have no active West London-wide campaigns, but there are a number of local campaigns including:
- Making Feltham train station safer.
- Working on access to public toilets for rough sleepers in Westminster.
- A Community Land Trust homes campaign in Ealing.
