The network
Our network of mums are taking all types of action across the UK. At Mothers CAN we never tell members of our Network what to do. Instead we support them to take the action that works for them in their local context.

The Edinburgh Mothers CAN group successfully lobbied the City of Edinburgh Council to ban high carbon advertising on buildings and in public spaces they own. The group also designed and led the Protect Our Future project, over 6,000 children wrote personal climate messages to Scotland’s politicians.
Carrie - Architect and business owner
Carrie has done Door Knocking with Greenpeace, and sparked conversations with customers of her architectural practice by arriving by bike and talking over a dairy-free hot drink. She has marshalled Greenpeace anti fossil fuel marches, and lobbied MPs, the PM and key secretaries of state with her daughter to support the Climate and Nature Bill. She has protested against a gravel quarry between her children’s two schools.
