Great time this morning talking about how we build more power across Oxford! Looking forward to updating you, @thehannahling! We enjoyed reflecting on a passage from @gecaniaf’s Going Public.

Congratulations newly elected MPs! This week @AngelaRayner & others pledged to work with Citizens UK on issues that matter to our communities. We're ready to build on existing relationships like these & foster new ones with all elected officials. Everyday people win change💪💯

Working with @CitizensUK & @MigrantDemos, we built & promoted the Can I Vote? tool far and wide, helping migrants learn they have voting rights in the UK https://t.co/8BFMoMJbwU

23 years here… as a student, researcher, teacher, community organiser, headteacher, and executive headteacher. A few years ago, my application to become a British Citizens was turned down (‘not enough evidence of integration’, they said). I can’t vote today. Gutted.

🚨 The polls indicate a more than likely chance of spotting #dogsatpollingstations today 🚨 If you needed another reason to vote THIS IS IT. - Also everyday people have the power to win change and together we can hold the next Government to account 🔥 Don't forget your photo ID

At our national #GeneralElection assembly we heard powerful responses from politicians on issues that matter to communities. Should they be elected, they've agreed to work with us on #LivingWage, #Citizenship, #Housing & more. So, what was said? 🧵 (1/16) #CitizensManifesto

@saragezdari We’re campaigning for #VotesAt16 and asked politicians to ensure that 16 year olds have the right to vote by the next General Election. @RichardNewby3 supported this: “we’ve been campaigning for votes at 16 for many years…they should have that chance”. (13/16)

The Labour Party’s deputy leader said she remembered the feeling of people looking down on her during her time as a care worker.

'We care because our neighbour’s struggle is our struggle.' Great to be at the @CitizensUK General Election Assembly last night - over 2,000 people representing 500 organisations across England and Wales standing in solidarity for a better future. Organised people = power.
