From Mothers Manifesto:

Mothers Manifesto are holding one day regional hunger strikes over Mothers Day weekend across the UK. Do join us and please share with friends 💗🙌

We are calling for legislative change to ensure the right to food in the UK and globally. We recognise this is a social, racial and climate justice issue and our demands reflect this. Do check out the Manifesto (linked from the Toolkit).

One day strike locations so far: Edinburgh, Preston, Sheffield, Manchester, Bristol and Plymouth. All welcome 🤗or do start one near you!

We are also Hunger Striking again outside Parliament starting from Mothers Day 30th March for 5 days do message if you’re up for joining us 🩷😍

Everyone is super welcome whether striking or supporting for a few hours or the full strike. This is a simple heartfelt action and one which has gained traction with press as well as two meetings in Parliament and another planned later this year.

Thank you so much, any and all support so appreciated.

Love and gratitude 🤗

“The hunger strikes are a direct challenge to policymakers, demanding urgent action to tackle food insecurity, which has reached crisis levels both in the UK and globally. Almost 30% of the world’s population faces food insecurity, with 14 million children suffering from severe malnutrition. Hunger deepens inequality, drives conflict and displaces millions – yet the UK government’s recent cuts to foreign aid in favour of increased defense spending risk worsening global instability. The Mothers Manifesto movement calls for systemic change: universal free school meals, an Essentials Guarantee for Universal Credit and stronger commitments to global food security, climate action and debt justice. By signing the Manifesto, joining hunger strikes and supporting the movement, people can take a stand against food poverty – both at home and worldwide.”
