Movement for Change activists getting organised in Southampton
Among other places, Movement for Change has recently been doing some organising work in Southampton. We have met with a number of activists who are keen to build two campaigns: one focusing on the provision of elderly care in the community and the other high rates of college drop-out in the city. A host of one-to-one meetings culminated in a planning meeting last Friday in which the activists from both campaigns built a joint strategy for the next eight weeks.
Movement for Change will continue helping the group by shadowing a number of the activists as they got out into the community for some one-to-one meetings, and by holding a Movement for Change training session in May so that they are ready with some of the practical organising tools.
We are excited to be working with this energetic group in Southampton, some of whom are coming into Labour politics for the first time, and some who have lots of experience and want to try out some new organising techniques.
