North London Citizens

Who are we?

We are North London Citizens, a Citizens UK Chapter. Over 20,000 people have united to form our alliance, from schools, universities, faith groups, welcoming refugee groups and other community organisations.

Our alliances stretch across Barnet, Brent, Camden, Enfield, Haringey, Harrow and Islington.

Together, we organise to overcome injustice and win change on the things that you and your local communities care about most across the city.

Since our founding in 2010, we have:

Welcomed and Resettled over 100 Syrian refugees in North London
Improved housing in several North London Communities
Successfully negotiated with TfL in Brent to secure improved transport and safety
Supported many local employers in becoming accredited real Living Wage employers, paying their staff the London Living Wage
Hosted the first Iftar in a Synagogue during the holy month of Ramadan.
