Ideas worth fighting for
Reopening Thursday 3 December 2020. People’s History Museum (PHM) in Manchester is the national museum of democracy, telling the story of its development in Britain: past, present, and future. The museum provides opportunities for all people to learn about, be inspired by and get involved in ideas worth fighting for; ideas such as equality, social justice, co-operation, and a fair world for all.

Please help us save a piece of history. This cup was presented to George Dewhurst, a radical reformer, arrested for speaking for workers rights in 1819. The cup is at risk of being sold to a private owner. We would like to present it to a Museum to go into a collection. Anyone who donates £20 will go into a book of honour listing those who helped to buy this cup for the people. We are half way to our target!
