Welcome to Green Gate 🌿💚

When the government agreed to allow American nuclear weapons to be stored at RAF Greenham Common, hundreds of women arrived to protest the decision. Setting up a camp around the airbase, these women created a community built on a foundation of activism, and structured around different ‘gates’.

Focusing on life at Green Gate, where Monica Sjöö spent time living and campaigning, Rebecca Mordan (of Scary Little Girls and Greenham Women Everywhere) takes you inside the camp in these recordings.
