Justice Not Crisis is a direct action pressure group campaigning for more social housing in Birmingham, UK.


Justice Not Crisis was founded in 2008 by Lee Moore and Steve Austin. Their first action was the John Lines Homeless Village [1] , a tent city built on disused land owned by the Birmingham City Council. The original plan was to occupy the land for 2 days to draw attention to the fact that Birmingham city council refused to sell it to housing associations wishing to build social housing. This gave rise to one of Steve Austin's famous mantras; "two tents, two nights, two people".
