#GreenhamCommon #PeaceCamp played a significant role in getting US Cruise missiles removed from British soil in the 80s. Would such a protest be possible now? I don't know.

Am an #OAP & a Pacifist,
Was at #GreenhamCommon, raised money for #CND etc.
But #Trump makes me so angry
He is a huge #Warmonger
To call himself a #Pacifist is complete shit
I should like to slap his ugly face & kick him in the balls

The @greenhamwomen.bsky.social story must never be forgotten. 🕊️☮️☢️
Too often women’s history is airbrushed away when we should be learning from it.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1983, the #GreenhamMirror protest occurred at #GreenhamCommon military base in the UK. This happened during lengthy (1981-2000) #WomensPeaceCamp protests against hosting of US #nuclear #CruiseMissiles. The base was encircled and the fence was ripped down.

Ruth Nicol went to #GreenhamCommon with her friend Sarah Green in 1981/2 and stayed at Yellow Gate.
Here she talks about, finding solidarity and comfort in the women’s peace movement, and the thinking behind forming Green Gate.

LOP 191, 2 Oct 1981, headline: Outside the fence - women's peace camp at Greenham Common
LOP 191, 2 Oct 1981, text of interview with women at the camp plus photo of banner reading 'Women for life on Earth - peace march 81'
There was lots of coverage of #GreenhamCommon in Leeds Other Paper over the years and I think this was our first piece.
Will post more over coming days and weeks. Hope it's of interest to @greenhamwomen.bsky.social and @peacemuseumuk.bsky.social, among others.

A remarkable, powerful movement.
I lived at #FaslanePeaceCamp for almost 2 years, way back in the 80s, with occasional forays down to #GreenhamCommon #PeaceCamp
The camaraderie and kindness was meaningful and transformative.
The cause was - is - essential.
