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 to overcome injustice and bring about change.
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.
- Campaigned and won a £200,000 investment from the local council towards a local park in Hammersmith and Fulham
- Campaigned for road safety, winning a brand new zebra crossing outside a local primary school in White City
- And much more!
What are we fighting for?
Since Spring 2023, West London Citizens have been working collaboratively across four boroughs to campaign for a Living Wage for all health and social care workers.
We are also organising on 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.
