'Are You With Us?' campaign update December 2019

• Over 10,000 members of the public have signed a petition for an enforceable human right to housing in Scotland in the last 3 months.

• The petition will be delivered to the Minister for Local Government, Housing and Planning on Tuesday 10th December 2019, Human Rights Day.

• Cross-party political support for the campaign has been secured from more than half of all MSPs, as well as dozens of councillors, MP candidates and some councils, plus a parliamentary motion from Bruce Crawford MSP.

• Over 20 organisations have adopted a charter for change to show their support for strengthening the right to housing in Scotland, and to pledge actions they can undertake to achieve this.
