London Citizens

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

London Citizens is an alliance of community organisations in London in the United Kingdom. It is largely composed of faith groups including churches and mosques, schools, student organisations, union branches and residents' associations. It is part of the Citizen Organising Foundation, which also includes a similar organisation in Birmingham.

London Citizens' most high profile campaigns include those to establish a London living wage of £6.70 per hour, and a campaign called Strangers into Citizens, which calls on the British government to regularise the status of illegal immigrants who can prove that they have proficiency in English, community ties and no criminal record by offering them permission to stay in the UK legally for two years, with the possibility of citizenship at the end.[1][2] The campaigns have been publicly supported by figures including the leader of the Catholic church in England and Wales, the Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor.
