Great to see this amazing turnout for @ShapeCoalition1's march today! ✊️
Amidst a housing crisis, we need more council housing, more social housing - and homes built for people, not profit.
Our speakers were calling bullshit on the housing emergency being caused by asylum seekers coming to the UK! We won't be divided! The housing crisis is due to the housing industry & lobby's relentless pursuit of profit! The working class & property developers have ZERO in common!
Protest against overdevelopment and in favour of more council housing reaches Elephant & Castle. @ShapeCoalition1 march began in Peckham and is heading to Newington Causeway where Berkeley Homes is planning skyscrapers on Mercato Metropolitano site. #SHAPEprotest
We've had enough!!! We're at the #SHAPEprotest to send a message to Southwark Council & developers -
We don't want another Elephant & Castle!
Homes for people (that need them!) not for profit! In Peckham, Borough and beyond
Join us on the streets today & again Weds 19th!
Southwark demo on 1st March puts #Councilhousing in the spotlight. @ShapeCoalition1 plan to take the argument to Southwark Council's Offices. #SHAPEprotest
