Momentum Greenwich is a local network of people and organisations that will continue the energy and enthusiasm of Labour's 2017 General Election Campaign
What does Momentum want to do? Organise in every town, city and village to create a mass movement for real progressive change. Make Labour a more democratic party, with the policies and collective will to implement them in government. Bring together individuals and groups in our communities and workplaces to campaign and organise on the issues that matter to us. How will Momentum do this? Organise events, rallies, meetups and policy consultations to encourage mass mobilisation for a more democratic, equal and decent society. Encourage those inspired by Jeremy Corbyn's campaign to get involved with the Labour Party. Assist members in making their voice heard in Labour Party debates. Facilitate and coordinate people to build new and support existing organisations that can make concrete improvements to people's lives. Through these actions, we aim to demonstrate on a micro level how collective action and Labour values can transform our society for the better. Who runs it? Formed as a successor to the Corbyn for Labour leader campaign, Momentum is in the process of setting up governance arrangements to represent its supporters amongst the Labour Party membership as well as the wider social movement which is springing up. As it grows, Momentum will develop democratic governance structures at every level of the network. What is the relationship between Labour and Jeremy Corbyn? Momentum is the successor entity to the Jeremy Corbyn for Labour Leader campaign but it is independent of the Labour Party's leadership. It will work with everyone who supports Jeremy's aim of creating a more fair, equal and democratic society. To contact us please email [email protected] or go to our twitter account
