Are you trying to change something? Or do you know someone who is?

We want to make sure that you go down in history.

Come along to the Library and we’ll add your story to our unique collection.

The photographer Simon Roberts (official artist of the 2010 General Election) is in Salford for one day and we want to make the most of it.

Bring yourself and an object that sums up what you do or is important to your cause. Simon will take your picture or a quick video clip and that’s it.

We’ll add your story to the Working Class Movement Library – Salford’s unique collection that captures over 200 years of the stories and struggles of ordinary people’s efforts to improve their world. From women campaigning to get the vote to people banding together to improve their working conditions – this is your history.

Come along to find out what you’ve got in common with campaigners in the past. Do you use Twitter? Two hundred years ago you would have had to use an illegal printing press to get your message out to your followers, then dismantle it and move on before the authorities caught up with you.

Upstairs at The Kings Arms, Bloom Street, Salford

Born in Flames is a 1983 documentary-style feminist science fiction film by Lizzie Borden that explores racism, classism, sexism and heterosexism in an alternative United States Socialist Democracy. Among the feminist voices in the film are two contrasting pirate radio stations and a Women’s Army. It is a classic feminist film that tries to imagine sexual politics differently, but offers no simple solutions.

Socialist Theatre
2pm Working Class Movement Library, 51 Crescent Salford M5 4WX

The Workers Educational Association “Socialist Theatre” Class, which has been running at WCML this Spring, will be putting on a dramatic presentation next Thursday, 26th April. The presentation, Entitled –“Who were they, why did they go and how did they get there!” is about the volunteers who went to fight for the Spanish Republic against Franco’s fascists.

During the course, the group studied different styles of Left Theatre, including Banner Theatre’s “Saltley Gates”. They were then asked to compile a short drama in that style.

Come along and see how they did, and maybe find out something about the people who fought in Spain.

The WCML has several exhibits on show about the Spanish Civil war and much material in its archives.

“Who were they, why did they go and how did they get there!” lasts about twenty minutes and will be followed by a short discussion about the type of person who volunteered for Spain and what struggles they’d be involved in today if they were around.

Every Thursday from 26th April onwards
