A CALL TO ACTION ON FOOD INSECURITY
Embedded Files
The Mothers’ Manifesto is a collective of mothers and supporters who are calling for an end to food insecurity. We believe in a future where every child has access to nutritious food and families, in all their diversity, are protected from poverty. Hunger is always a political choice. But extraordinary transformations can happen when governments align with a commitment to save and improve lives.
OUR MANIFESTO: THE PINK PAPER
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
MOTHERS HUNGER STRIKE MOTHER'S DAY 2026
MOTHERS HUNGER STRIKE MOTHER'S DAY 2026
Now in our fourth year of action, we will once again hold regional Mothers’ Hunger Strikes across the UK. These local strikes will raise awareness in our communities and call for urgent change.
After the regional actions, mothers who are able will continue with a further five-day strike outside Parliament, bringing our demands directly to the Government. Thanks to our recent fundraiser, we can now support mothers or supporters who wish to join us - either in London or locally. The Parliament strike is optional, and mothers can join for any length of time. We’re also looking for volunteers to help with logistics and media support. Join us and make your voice heard in a safe, compassionate action led by mothers standing together in solidarity.
MOTHERS DAY PICNIC FOR CHANGE
MOTHERS DAY PICNIC FOR CHANGE
We’re sorry to share that our upcoming Mother's Day Picnic for Change event has been postponed.
We were so excited to bring together a powerful day of love, care and action — centred on children and on building hope for a future where no child goes hungry.
However, due to other significant events now taking place in and around the Westminster area, we no longer feel we can safely deliver the day, nor create the impact such an important action deserves.
This was a difficult decision, made with huge appreciation for the incredible support from our collaborators, partners and volunteers who helped shape the plans.
Our commitment continues. The 5-day London Mothers’ Hunger Strike and our regional strikes will still go ahead.
We stand in solidarity with mothers, children and families everywhere, and we look forward to bringing this special day to life in the near future. ❤️

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”
