ELINOR McKENZIE (nee Livingston) was one of the generation who carried forward the anti-nuclear campaign into the 21st century.
She will be remembered for her work creating an effective coalition in Scotland against the Iraq war, for chairing the huge Coalition for Justice Not War rally in Glasgow in February 2003, and for her activism for equality and older people’s rights.
Elinor was the first female Scottish secretary of the Communist Party (2000-02) and her lifelong activism for peace and socialism was driven by her communism.
