London Citizens

I met with Joanna Purkis from London Citizens last week. She is the Organiser for the South London division of the group. London Citizens is an alliance of faith groups, schools, student organisations, union branches and residents groups, who share a commitment to action for the common good. The campaigns include ‘Strangers into Citizens’, ‘Citizens for Sanctuary’, and the ‘London Living Wage’; their efforts have led to positive change. For example they campaigned for the improvements at Lunar House with regard to the queuing system and have pressured the DCFS to pay its cleaners the Living Wage – currently £7.45.

Croydon Green Party supports organisations like London Citizens and congratulates them on their notable successes in the field of social justice.
