Greater Manchester Citizens was started in July 2016, work with a variety of institutions across Greater Manchester including schools, trade union branches, faith institutions and community groups.
We work as a alliance of institutions and community leaders to influence decisions and negotiate changes for the common good. In 2017 we held a 1,000 person assembly to negotiate with the Mayoral candidates on issues ranging from housing and homelessness, social care, hate crime and encouraging more employers to pay a real Living Wage. These are all issues which affect the lives and prospects of people across our communities and together we are working towards them in 2018.
