Today marks 91 months since 72 loved ones were taken from us at Grenfell. We still have no clear road to Justice, and no adequate health monitoring to ensure all bereaved and survivors get to see it if it comes. Will we see any improvements before the 8 year anniversary?

The slow revelation of inhumanity in the people who walk around us, work with us and who we count(ed) as friends is one of the most sinister parts of the last eleven months. I can’t believe I was ever alone in a room with some of you.

In few days it’s 31 yrs since British police murdered Joy Gardner. What happened to her’s beyond harrowing, immigration officers & police violence in front of her 5 year old son in her home. They bound her head with 13 feet of tape, her legs with a belt murdering her.Never forget

Today marks 82 months since we lost 72 loved ones. The 15th April marks 35 years since Hillsborough, and the 16th April marks 10 years since the Sewol Ferry tragedy. We pay tribute to all those families affected who show us support but are still looking for answers themselvesπŸ’š

Yesterday Parents For Palestine did an action in Westfields Waitrose in Shepherds Bush, West London. Israeli products Sabra hommous, Israeli dates and Sudocrem were taken off shelves. They fund the genocide of Palestinians from West Bank settlement expansions to massacres in Gaza
