Aim
Help us build a live May Day map connecting grassroots actions nationwide. £2k to launch in 4 weeks. Build local power. Tax the rich.
Mobilise Everywhere is not a new organisation. It is an intervention.
For decades, grassroots organising on the left has been geographically concentrated in university towns and major cities. This has shaped who participates, what issues are prioritised, and where resources are directed. Meanwhile, the majority of towns across the UK — places without large independent university campuses — have been repeatedly deprioritised.
In 2025 the far right increased its visible activity across the country. In many smaller towns this activity did not meet an organised response. That gap is not accidental. It reflects long-standing weaknesses in how mobilisation has been understood and resourced.
Mobilise Everywhere is a call-out to address that imbalance.
We are encouraging local activists in underrepresented areas to connect with existing activity, attend May Day demonstrations, organise street stalls, hold banner drops, and host small-scale workers’ assemblies. The aim is simple: increase geographic coverage and build a clearer picture of grassroots capacity outside major cities.
To support this, we are raising funds to build an online map that allows activists to submit and find local grassroots activity in their area. The map will make visible what already exists and help people connect where no formal organisation currently operates. It will be built by Common Knowledge and will function as practical infrastructure rather than a new centralised structure.
This is a low-barrier intervention. It does not impose a single set of demands. It is grounded in shared values: class consciousness, climate justice, anti-fascism, and anti-imperialism. Beyond that, local groups should organise around the material priorities of their area.
The funds raised will go directly toward building and maintaining the map, hosting costs, and basic coordination support. No new bureaucracy. No new hierarchy. Just infrastructure that helps people organise where they already live.
If you agree that geographic concentration has weakened grassroots capacity — and that rebuilding outside university towns is necessary — then support this effort.
Mobilise everywhere means exactly that.
