53,000+ voices are demanding gambling giants pay their fair share 💸 The goal? Lift 500,000 kids out of poverty. Help us reach 75,000 signatures: sign & share today. 38d.gs/6eeq

We’re in a child poverty emergency, and it'll only get worse unless the Government does more.

Gambling giants don't pay their fair share but taxing them more could raise billions to help children.

Hey Keir Starmer, get the memo?

We’ve delivered thousands of messages to Number 10 from our supporters, with the help of some digi-vans!

People are fed up with politicians choosing failed policies and scapegoating over investing in all communities. Time for real change.

A delivery truck with the slogan "STOP SCAPEGOATING. START FIXING BRITAIN." drives past Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament on a sunny day.

Four activists wearing Refugee Action t-shirts stand in front of 10 Downing Street, holding signs that support refugee rights in the UK.

A truck displaying a digital billboard with the message "Everyone needs a safe place to live. Build homes and stop scapegoating migrants." from James, Spen Valley, parked in front the Home Office.

Profiteering, neglect, poverty and housing crisis.

Liverpool has 12,764 households social housing waiting list. Only FIVE “additional social rent dwellings”.

Repeated across the UK.

Landlords evict tenants, councils can't build social housing, council funding cut for years, lives destroyed.

A waiting list of thousands, and just five new homes for social rent: this city shows the depth of Britain’s housing crisis | John Harris

Liverpool was once praised for its tolerance, but housing shortages are driving fearful, unsettling behaviours – and people are blaming outsiders, says Guardian columnist John Harris

Destruction of the world’s forests reached the highest level - agricultural expansion, mining, infrastructure, logging.

Profits before climate change, human lives and the planet.

The cult of deregulation will make matters worse.
