My husband, Ron Taylor, who had died aged 75, was a social worker and teacher, and a lifelong socialist and anti-racist involved in many campaigns for justice.
In the 70s he was a member of the Anti-Nazi League and a founder member of the Hebden Bridge Asbestos Action Group in West Yorkshire along with his first wife, Renata. In 1979 he helped set up the alternative newspaper the Calder Valley Press. During the miners’ strike Ron formed a local support group and organised fundraising gigs including one featuring the folk musician and comic Mike Harding.
