Momentum grew out of the campaign
to elect Jeremy Corbyn as leader of the Labour Party during the
summer of 2015 and has grown rapidly. The grassroots
group was established on Thursday 8 October 2015 to build on the
energy and the enthusiasm of Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership campaign.
Momentum has been a hive of activity in its first year, setting up a
grassroots network that campaigns and organises to build a more
democratic and equal society. Momentum aims to make the Labour
Party more democratic, radical and participatory so that the
Party’s massively increased membership can be active in every
community, putting forward Labour’s ambitious plan to rebuild and
transform Britain.
