Our homes are not built for this.

We need our politicians to take action now to combat the climate crisis and retrofit our homes or more people will continue to die due to poorly built homes.

Housing justice is climate justice.

This is the direct result of the climate crisis and it will only get worse.

We need to force our politicians to protect homes lives and communities from climate disaster.

Building powerful united communities to fight for decent, secure housing is vital in the fight against the far right.

Together we can rip apart the conditions that the far right needs in order to recruit.

It’s been a long time coming. ⚽️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Last time Scotland were in the World Cup housing was 15% our income. Now it’s at least double that.

We need a rent freeze now.

Landlords are making a fortune whilst the rest of us struggle to make ends meet.

Four years ago the government stepped up to support tenants during the worst of the cost of living crisis. And now tenants need support again.

We need a rent freeze. ❄️💷 Sign our petition now!

Just when you thought our politicians could not get any worse.

Parliament has given the housing, social justice and local government committee to the Tories and Reform.

That means these far-right, anti-tenant parties will be the ones setting the agenda for the housing committee.

Completely unforgiveable.

Every year is vital but this year, with far right politics gaining more and more momentum, building strength in our communities and workplaces is vital.
