THE national co-ordinating group is Momentum’s highest body and is responsible for ensuring that the organisation operates within its aims and values so whomever is elected has the power to bring about the change that is needed to bring Momentum forward.
Momentum began as a people-powered, grassroots movement, which helped mobilise the left during the Corbyn leadership with the same ethos as the Labour Party to transform our society and communities to work for the many not just the privileged few.
