Who are we?

This idea was kick-started by a group of Easton residents who care about the area and want to explore whether a People’s Council could work here.

The project isn’t backed by organisations, funders or political parties. It’s simply a group of locals starting a conversation.

Anyone who lives in the area can get involved and help shape what happens next.

A few moments from last weekend's Parking Assembly ✊ A huge thank you to everyone who came along, shared their experiences, and got stuck into the conversation. It was a thoughtful, honest discussion with plenty of ideas for what we can do together. This is exactly what the Easton People's Council is about: turning local conversations into collective action. More to come.A few moments from our Renters' Assembly ✊ Thank you to everyone who came along and made it such a thoughtful and energising afternoon. We heard from organisations working to build renter power across Bristol, including @acorn_bristol , @bristolfairrentingcampaign and @bristol_housing_action_mov , we had some brilliant conversations about what a different future could look like. Together we explored ideas for community-owned housing, putting local assets to work for the public good, and how we can organise collectively to tackle the housing crisis in Easton. There was a real appetite to keep working together, and this feels like the beginning of something bigger. Thanks to everyone who shared their experiences, ideas, and time. Onwards. ✊What an inspiring afternoon. Thank you to everyone who joined us. There was so much energy, hope, and love for Easton in the room. Together, we agreed on a campaign that tackles a root cause of fly-tipping, doesn't exclude those who are too often left out of decision-making, and is something we believe we can win. Most importantly, our takeaway was clear: Easton deserves better. We've now formed working groups, everyone left with a clear action, and we're excited about what comes next. More information soon. If you care about Easton and want to be part of the campaign, get in touch—we'd love to have you involved. 💚
