The Newham branch is an active multi-race, cross-class community of renters who host powerful meetings, resist evictions, and support each other to win repairs and stay in their homes. The branch also takes on bigger collective disputes against landlords, and is part of the LRU's Cut the Rent campaign.

We are particularly eager to hear from applicants who:

• are working class, and have experienced housing precarity,
• Are racialised
• Speak a key community language in Newham - such as Arabic, Bengali, Punjabi, Romanian, Tamil, Urdu
