4 volunteers canvassing in Leytonstone.

This week, we were out in support of @e11_unplugged who is standing as an independent in Leytonstone Ward. A teacher who specialises in Inclusion and SEND, Rhiannon Eglin has been a councillor since 2022. Like us, she wants to organise People’s Assemblies so that Leytonstone residents have a voice.

Chingford and Woodford Green Community Independents - Happy International Women's Day graphic design of diverse group of women.

International Women’s Day 2026 is calling for equal rights – and equal justice to enforce, exercise, and enjoy those rights.

Thanks to all our members, supporters and candidates who work every day towards RIGHTS, JUSTICE, ACTION for ALL women and girls.

We've been out on Wynndale Road and Maybank this weekend chatting with residents.

The #BroadmeadRoadBridge closure has affected daily life and many feel the council has just left residents to deal with it.

A lot of interest in voting Independent and having their voices heard ✊

My friend Rosa Gomez - a hard working and popular councillor here in #Redbridge, London - has been barred as a councillor after the local authority stopped her carer from assisting her at council meetings. It’s blatant #disability #discrimination.
