Louie Herbert

Senior Organiser Trainer

Louie has been organising for over a decade. As one of the founders of ACORN UK, he was instrumental in developing the strategy and methodology that laid the foundations for ACORN to become the largest community union in the UK, winning millions of pounds worth of victories for working-class communities. He also has organising experience with 38 Degrees, the Labour Party and Debt Justice. For Louie, organising should be a politicising process; he believes that through collective action, people will see their shared struggles and identify the people responsible for creating those struggles.
