Lisa McKenzie

She was active in the Class War party and her research and politics have been influenced by being a working-class mother of a mixed-race child in a poor area of Nottingham where she grew up.

[2] She moved from predominantly white suburbs to the inner city of Nottingham where she had her mixed-race son in 1988 as there were more black people there and she felt more comfortable.

[5] In April 2015, she was arrested at a protest over the "poor door" at One Commercial Street in London and charged with three public order offences.

[14] In April 2021 McKenzie launched a kickstarter appeal to fund the project Lockdown diaries of the working class.

[21] In 2012, McKenzie appeared on BBC Radio 4's Thinking Allowed with Laurie Taylor to discuss working class alienation in Nottingham.
