London, UK. 24th September 2016. The helium-filled balloon to celebrate three years of Housing campaigners Focus E15's fight against Newham Council flies free over the rooftops at the party at their street stall on Stratford Broadway. The 29 young mothers stood together to fight against their eviction from the Focus E15 hostel, refusing to accept being moved out of London, away from families and communities and demanding to be allowed to continue to live in the area they knew as home. Their lively campaign forced Newham to rehouse them locally, but they continue to campaign for others, bringing issues of social cleansing and unjust housing in Newham and elsewhere to public attention, recently setting up Sylvia's Corner, a radical hub for East London.
