- Redways Relaunch – 50 improvements to the Redway network and a day of action on 21st April (50 votes)
- Fight against Hate – awareness raising on public buses and in schools, and peer support for victims of hate crime (49 votes).
The assembly was attended by 85 people from 18 member institutions, who jointly committed a turnout of 255 for the upcoming Accountability Assembly on 25th April, where the new campaigns will be asking power-holders to make campaign pledges (numbers in table below).

“What was really impressive (as an outsider),” wrote Jonathan Cox, Deputy Director of Citizens UK, “was the depth of the members’ ownership of the organisation and the process. In particular the accountability around dues, with each institution being asked to pay its dues for the year ahead by April. Also the seriousness about turnout and democracy…and the wide range of leaders proposing new and very local issues to take forward.”
