Anti-eviction activists were supported by parents passing to drop their children at school
Waltham Forest TUSC supporters joined others to stop an eviction of a single mother and her two children in Walthamstow this morning. Local TUSC coordinator Nancy Taaffe reported:
“It looks like the possible eviction of a woman and her two kids has been temporarily won in Walthamstow today. However, I am visiting someone this afternoon who is facing the same thing and trying to help her, we met someone yesterday facing the same thing and and we met a mum on her way to school this morning who came back and supported us outside the house today, who is also facing eviction next week.
“This is an onslaught. The mass eviction of many women and their children …and the recent intensification of the problem means that we need a grass roots/ trade union response to physically stop the bailiffs, but also we need to raise secure tenancies politically- in every arena. The GLA elections are coming up, we have to make the London challenge about stopping the forced evictions and gaining security of tenure and access to council homes if you do face eviction.”
