Louie has been organising for over a decade.

He also has organising experience with 38 Degrees, the Labour Party and Debt Justice.

She has won with many others on issues from citizenship for young people, securing better wages for 1000s of staff and winning housing for those seeking asylum.

She taught as a guest lecturer in community organising at University College London for three years and is a trainer and coach for Marshall Ganz.
