This will be hugely impactful, with women striking across the country in solidarity with all those who are struggling to feed themselves and their families
We will be joining forces and together we will be an incredibly powerful voice.
We are starting to gather momentum with some regions already covered but we need more! Might you be able to support a local strike? Get in touch.

We stand in unity and solidarity with all those struggling to feed themselves and their children.
2.3 million die of malnutrition yearly. Malnutrition is the cause of 45% of child mortality.
We will not stop until there is immediate action to prevent the unnecessary crisis of food insecurity.
Our key demands are:
MAKE SURE ALL CHILDREN IN THE UK HAVE ENOUGH TO EAT
IMPLEMENT GLOBAL POLICIES OF CARE
INVEST IN SUSTAINABLE FOOD SYSTEMS
Joining Mother's Manifesto means joining a group of compassionate, like-minded people who want to see an end to suffering. We are a group of mother's who each have expertise and life experience in motherhood, food insecurity and health. We have people who run food banks, work as activists, are full time mothers, Doctors and NGO organisers, as well as support members who help with our messaging and logistics.
We are standing in solidarity with all the mothers and their children who are being failed by the current system. We know that we can make a difference, and with unwavering determination we can create a world in which no child goes hungry. We are calling on MPs to pledge their support for this Manifesto, and to take action on hunger and the right to food in the UK and globally.

On Mothers Day 2023 and 2024, our group of 8 Mother's went on hunger strike for 5 days. We spoke with press, the public and politicians, raising awareness of the food security crisis and highlighting our demands.
OUR SUPPORTERS
“No child should be hungry, no child need be hungry if we only assume our urgent responsibility on inequality. Climate change is accelerating this crisis and we need to address it now. These brave women striking in solidarity with mothers should be listened to in the U.K. and around the world.”
CHRISTIANA FIGUERES
Former executive secretary of the UNFCCC and co-host of the climate podcast Outrage + Optimism.
“Because I know women really struggling to raise their families because they are getting a raw financial deal from this government. These women cannot take any more. This is why I’m supporting and I urge you to support this too.”
BENJAMIN ZEPHANIAH
Poet, Activist, Writer
“It’s got to be the politicians who get together and start putting the future of humanity and indeed the future of all species on this precious planet as their number 1 priority. Rather than bank rolling fossil fuel companies who are destroying our future.”
CAROLINE LUCAS
Green Party MP for Brighton, Pavilion
