Connecting at Preston New Road
A Northern Irish activist comes to northern England
Tanya Jones, anti-fracking activist and Green Party candidate in Northern Ireland, collaborated with the Democracy Center and other activists from Ireland and Scotland on a workshop at Preston New Road during the Rolling Resistance in July 2017.

- We must connect with our enemies, because we are non-violent.
