#BlackLivesMatter Then what about #ShekuBayoh🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 these struggles do not last a few days, can last years & sometimes a life time - in Sheku’s case his family have fought a legal system for 5 years- join virtual protest @ScottishTUC - support their campaign crowdjustice.com/case/justicefo…

Not many see the darkest hours, the depression, the break-downs, the tears that are dried up but the need to fight because the dead cannot cry out for justice & their loved ones feel the duty to do so for them crowdjustice.com/case/justicefo…

The desire to show solidarity on Sunday is understandable, the Bayohs want to go Tomoro but they are not because #BlackLivesMatter & #COVID19 presents too high a risk, even more so to BAME - if even one person was to lose their life is it worth it? crowdjustice.com/case/justicefo…

It’s about more than just turning up, what about practical solidarity, support for those with no voices, if we want to fight systemic institutional racism then we must build networks of 100s if not 1000s that are there for the struggles that lie ahead crowdjustice.com/case/justicefo…

No one knows how it feels for families to have no resources, no funds, no legal aid to fight as the years fly by & still hearing those words ‘oh I haven’t heard about #ShekuBayoh before’ crowdjustice.com/case/justicefo…
