The Anti-Austerity Coalition was formed at a nation-wide summit hosted by Hackney Council on 9 September 2026.
The summit brought together councils, trade unions, campaigns and civil society organisations determined to close the chapter on austerity. More than 10 trade unions were represented.
The Coalition has five core asks of government, starting with restoring council funding to at least pre-2010 levels. Read our asks and sign up to hear more.
