Creative mobilisations, actions and demos have been a core element of the LWA’s work and identity from the very beginning, and they are an important part of our campaigns and movement-building work. Previous LWA mobilisations have included three ‘Good Food Good Farming’ Marches in 2018, 2019 and 2022, ‘A Place at the Table’ stunt outside the Defra offices, ‘Save Our Standards’ pumpkin stunt and ‘Food Sovereignty Football’, as well as many more regional demos including the ‘Day of Action for Small Farms’ in Edinburgh and the ‘Stop Exporting Paraquat’ demo in Huddersfield.
The Mobilisations Coordinator role will build on previous LWA mobilisation and creative engagement work to maintain a grassroots approach to mobilising, to meet the desire within our membership to engage creatively in the campaigning and advocacy work of the LWA, and to translate the work of the Campaigns team into member action.
The role will also complement our movement-building work to increase the number of LWA Members and Supporters, and build a broad-based, progressive and inclusive social movement for food sovereignty, agroecology, food justice and climate justice. All LWA mobilisations should be developed to complement and align with the wider movement-building, events and campaigns work of the LWA.
