Walk with us tomorrow, Saturday 14 June for the 8th anniversary.
8 years on. No arrests. No justice.

Five days until the 8th anniversary of Grenfell.
Walk with us this Saturday 14 June.
8 years on. No arrests. No justice.
The government wants the Tower out of sight and out of mind. But we won't stop until the criminals are brought to justice.

95 months since 72 people died at Grenfell.
Next month marks 8 years since the fire.
8 years without our loved ones, whilst those responsible walk free.
Our 72 remain forever in our hearts. We wonāt stop fighting until we get justice.
