#NoMoreDeathsOnOurStreets

Many of those calling this action are involved on 
a daily basis with our streets and we encourage 
people to support these grassroots groups by 
getting involved in their ongoing attempts to 
assist those in need. We aim  to build and hold 
the biggest homeless protest and gathering held 
in London whilst increasing our vital street support networks
.
.
For example we have had spikes put in where 
homeless people take shelter in London. The 
police and local councils have removed sleeping 
gear and food donated by public in order to 
discourage homelessness and rough sleeping in 
London. In a number of boroughs it is now even 
illegal to commit the heinous crime of rough 
sleeping under Operation Encompass enforced by 
the MET Police and various local councils.
.
People need support from society not being kicked 
when they are down. They are being killed by the 
cold and indifference, and are running out of 
places to turn to as austerity hits services they use
.
‘
We will come together to say enough is 
enough
There is no reason in this society for 
people not to be able access adequate housing, 
food or good health other than a lack of political will and sufficient funding.

‘
We call  on all individuals and groups to support 
our homeless communities wherever they may be, however they can
.
