About Momentum Hackney
Momentum Hackney is a member-led collective that organises and supports political projects to change Hackney for the better.
Our aims
- to support local people involved in political campaigns and direct actions in Hackney borough and to encourage others to get involved.
- to facilitate those who wish to start their own campaigns.
- to engage people in local politics.
- to promote the policies and values that propelled Jeremy Corbyn to leader of the Labour party.
Our ultimate objective is a fair and equal society. We campaign on an anti-austerity platform for social justice, we aim to bring better representation in politics, locally and nationally by encouraging more political engagement via the Labour Party which we feel is the best vehicle to achieve long lasting change for a better society through parliamentary democracy.
We support the aims and objectives of the Labour Party and its current leader, Jeremy Corbyn. As members of the Labour Party, we also campaign for a more pluralistic, representative, grassroots lead, democratic Labour Party.
We are all Hackney residents working on a voluntary basis.
