Back cover text:

We must examine the campaigns and struggles people have gone through, listen to their stories, study their actions and in turn look at the world now, and apply what we have learnt to build new movements to campaign and deliver the changes we want to see.

Neil Findlay brings together stories from the frontline in the fight for social justice in the awe-inspiring compendium, If You Don’t Run, They Can’t Chase You.

Some of the actions recorded were victorious, some were not; but all of them are an opportunity to learn about the human spirit, about promoting and defending ideals and principles, about personal strength, collective action, leadership, justice, democracy and common decency.

With contributions from Alistair Mackie, Jim Swan, Brian Filling, Maria Fyfe, Dave Smith, Dennis Skinner, Alex Bennett, Tony Nelson, Mark Lyon, 'Andrea', Margaret Aspinall, Yvette Williams, Elaine Holmes, Olive McIlroy, Paul Quigley, and Louise Taggart.

This collection has been brought together to help us better understand the shoulders on which we stand today and how to make the world a better place.

‘Findlay has done an outstanding job with this highly responsible and necessary work that opens up a goldmine’ – Angus Reid, Morning Star

‘Neil Findlay’s book couldn’t have arrived at a better time. The stories of his working-class heroes remind us that true social justice is still worth fighting for.’ – Kevin McKenna, The Herald
