Greenham Women Everywhere is a project focused on collating and preserving the stories from these protests, creating an archive and asking, how can the legacy of Greenham Common inspire the next generation of activists and give us hope for the future? Rebecca Morden from the project talks to peace campaigner Sue Say and singer Frankie Armstrong about their Greenham memories.
