URGENT CALL TO ACTION! Kushinda Olanrewaju targeted for Eviction!

In retaliation for the 11th of May protest outside of Willesden Magistrates Court, Genesis Housing Association, Kushinda Olanrewaju's (a.k.a Shirley Campbell) rogue landlord, obtained a scheduled hearing on Monday, 13 June 2016 at 11am for non-payment of rent.

On 11 May 2016, we were successful in pushing back the State's aggression against Kushinda's learning disabled son, Meshach,

The State postponed his trial to 1st of September pending an updated assessment.

The victory was possible only due to the community's phone calls, emails, and direct participation at our protest which helped to elevate Kushinda and her family out of isolation. In response to this triumph, the State immediately moved on Kushinda with the threat of eviction.

ANWO is calling again for your support and vigilance of this latest attack which is a combined assault by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), the London Borough of Brent, Genesis Housing Association and Willesden County Court.

DWP terminated her entitlement to Income Support in September 2011. Later her Carers Allowance and Child Benefit was terminated. To ensure her and her family's housing needs, Kushinda made a Housing Benefit (HB) application to Brent Council which she received. Last year, on the advice of the DWP, the council suspended Kushinda's HB payments on the pretext that her circumstances changed. Although Kushinda's HB application was processed by the Council and not by the DWP she provided the Council with the requested information but received no acknowledgement or reinstatement of HB.

This is a clear assault against a family that is struggling for justice, not just for themselves, but for others.

How you can help?

Join our protest at 10am on Monday, 11th of June outside Willesden County Court
Call: Brent Council's Revenue and Benefits Services on 020 0937 1800 or email: [email protected] to demand the reinstatement of Shirley Campbell's Housing benefits based on nil income.

EMERGENCY CALL TO ACTION:

We are calling on all of our supporters and organizers to call and email Crown Prosecution Service between today and tomorrow to demand that they drop the criminal charge against Meshach Boland and to utilise the “liaison and diversion” policy to social services.

Kushinda Olanrewaju's son, Meshach Boland, is going to trial this Wednesday, May 11th. The prosecution is moving to charge him with Common Assault as a result of a behavioral disability for which the Borough of Brent has denied him access to treatment. Instead, the only "help" they are willing to provide is a jail cell.

In essence, First, they Fail Us! Then they Jail Us!

Kushinda has been fighting in relative isolation for the last 17 years. Let's not let her be alone anymore.

Let Crown Prosecution know that when they touch one of us they touch all of us! Let's support this mother and her family by making these calls.

Here's what you can do (U.S. supporters London is 5 hours ahead of Eastern time):

Phone: 020 3 357 7000 and press option 1 for the Magistrates Court
Email: [email protected]

1. State your name and where you're calling from
2. Say that you are calling to inquire about Meshach Boland's case. Ask why are they pushing for a criminal charge of common assault for a behavioral and learning disabled man.
3. Demand that they drop the criminal charge against Meshach Boland for the "liaison and diversion" policy to social services. (https://www.england.nhs.uk/commissioning/health-just/liaison-and-diversion/)
4. Take the name of the person you spoke to and either leave it in a comment below or email it to [email protected]

JOIN THE PROTEST ON WEDNESDAY, MAY 11th at 1pm in front of Willesden Magistrate's Court.
