  • Summary

  • There is more that unites us than divides us, yet we still often struggle in silos. How do we unite for justice?

    LGBTQIA+ activists Mike Jackson and Dave Lewis from the Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) movement share their inspiring story - popularised through the award-winning movie PRIDE (2014) - about two very different communities bridging the divide and joining forces for justice. 

    About Mike & Dave:

    Mike grew up in Lancashire in the late 1950’s-60’s amidst cotton weaving  sheds, coal mines, iron foundries and an almost perpetually grey sky!  He left home at 16 determined to follow a career in horticulture and at 19 became a diploma student at Kew Gardens in London. The same year he  ‘came-out’ and became an LGBT+ activist. He has been a socialist since his teenage years and supporting the miners’ strike in 1984 came  naturally. He was the main consultant to UK Pathé in the development of the movie PRIDE which was released in 2014.

    Dave grew up in South London in the 1960's. He worked in the National  Rail network for 35 years and is now retired. He came out to his parents and family aged 20 in 1979. Today, he still lives in South London, in blissful retirement.
