Abstract

This audio clip is from a series of 100 life history interviews with environmental campaigners in the UK, 1970-2020. A quotation from this recording features in the book Voices for Change, published by UCL Press in November 2026 (available in print as well as a free PDF download). The full interview, along with the summaries, transcripts and recordings for this and the rest of the interview collection, is available at the British Library (Sound and Moving Image Collection, under the shelf-mark C2037). For more information, including educational materials and other resources, visit the Oral History of the Environmental Movement project website at www.royalholloway.ac.uk/ohemQuotation:we sort of decided to leave when we wanted to. It was the start of sort of collective decision making. And we were using then the momentum driven techniques where we were- We’d already been doing this in the September, but we were, you know, if somebody liked a video, we would say, ‘We’ll come and give a talk.’ We’d contact everybody and then you’d get them in the team. This is Roger’s very, very hard work. Get somebody in the mobilisation team and then they’d be talking to everybody on social media and getting them in. So, you can do a pyramid sort of growth of mobilisation.British Library catalogue number: C2037/15 Project clip number: 96
