Greater Manchester Citizens
Who are we?
We are Greater Manchester Citizens, a Citizens UK Chapter. Over 250,000 people have united to form our alliance, from mosques, churches, synagogues, trade unions, schools, universities and faith groups.
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 2016, we have:
- Campaigned and supported the University of Manchester to become a Living Wage accredited employer
- Campaigned and supported FC United of Manchester to become a Living Wage accredited employer
- Received ongoing support from Mayor Andy Burham and the Police and Crime Commissioner for our Misogyny Is Hate campaign
- And much more!
What are we fighting for?
The priority issues voted on by members in our community include:
- Ending child poverty in our communities
- Fair work, including a real Living Wage for workers
- Mental health support
- Clean air for local people
