Rights Community Action

It's #HumanRightsDay! We believe communities should have real power, and The Charter for Communities gives people the rights they need to protect where they live, influence decisions, shape environment & housing, and build fairer, healthier communities. Support the Charter charterfordemocracy.org

Who do we think we are??? Basic rights like a healthy home, right to roam and having a voice in local decisions that affect our lives? Join our campaign for a Charter for Community Rights - add your name here! charterfordemocracy.org

The nerve of us! We want communities to have an abundance of rights; access to a healthy home and a clean environment; to play, swim and roam; to participate and challenge local decisions. Who do we think we are?? Join us as we campaign for a Charter for Community Rights. charterfordemocracy.org

#CommunityRights #CommunityVoice #CommunityPower

A right to play? Now we're really being ridiculous. We think - just like article 31, UN Convention on the Rights of the Child - believe we should have the right to rest, leisure, play, and recreational activities, and to freely participate in cultural and artistic life. Do you agree? then.....

Don't you think we should have the right to grow food on unloved public land? We think it makes sense! Join us in more outrageous demand for community rights here charterfordemocracy.org
#CommunityRights #CommunityVoice #CommunityPower

What do we want? A right for communities to challenge decisions! When do we want it? Soon as poss please. Do you think that communities should have basic rights like healthy homes, clean environment and for those in power to have to listen to what local areas need? Join us! charterfordemocracy.org

We're asking for the moon on a stick! We believe communities should have a voice in local decisions - do you agree? We have a charter of outrageous asks. Find out more and sign your name! charterfordemocracy.org

Storm Floris barreled into Scotland in August with 134 mph winds & power cuts—an extreme event not expected in summer. Climate change is shifting the norms and our planning must catch up. Communities need stronger, climate-smart standards and powers in housing & infrastructure.
