MOTHER’S MANIFESTO FOR CHANGE
A CALL TO ACTION ON FOOD INSECURITY.
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.

MOTHERS MANIFESTO IN PARLIAMENT
WE ARE INTRODUCING THE FIRST OF OUR DEMANDS IN PARLIAMENT.
JOIN US AND LEARN MORE ABOUT INVITING YOUR MP OR CANDIDATE TO SUPPORT
1. NO CHILD IN THE UK TO GO HUNGRY
Free school meals for all children in state schools and the implementation of a Universal Credit which guarantees life's essentials.
2. A LOOP-HOLE FREE 90% WINDFALL TAX ON FOSSIL FUEL COMPANIES EXCESSIVE PROFITS
The climate crisis, which is being driven by fossil fuels, is directly causing an escalation in food insecurity. Fossil fuel companies presently receive 91.4% tax relief (90p in every £1) when reinvesting into UK energy, this includes expansion and development of fossil fuel sites. Essentially taking our money to steal our future!
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
“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
