Marge Evans (second from the left)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u2018During the depression I used to knock on a door and borrow a chair to stand in so I could speak at a street corner meeting – I\u2019m not very tall you see\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That was Marge Evans talking about how she organised and spoke at public meetings to campaign for workers\u2019 rights in the 1930s depression, she was in her early 20s at the time.<\/p>\n

Marge lived though some of the most momentous political events in the 20th century, from the First World War, though the great depression, the general strike, the Spanish civil war, the fight against fascism and the Greenham Common campaign.<\/p>\n

She called herself \u2018A proper joiner\u2019 in a riveting, compelling interview she gave to local film maker, David Parker, in 1985.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll be screening film of the life of this remarkable and unsung hero of the Bristol labour movement.<\/p>\n
