Brings back many wonderful memories: ⛺️ 🔥 💃🏼😤❤️💪🏼- and so much more. I first went to #GreenhamCommon when I was 15 and couldn’t keep away! I moved there ‘full time’ (as we said) when I was 18 and for a year and a half woke up excited every morning.

Alright, the day-or days-long meetings were a bit much sometimes!

#GreenhamCommon was absolutely pivotal to all that I am now. Living politics as everyday practice, encountering ideas and people outside of your own experience, centring difference, building politics around ethics of care. Foregrounding fun in political action. It was magic.

AND we stank! 🔥😎
