Vigil for Bibaa Henry & Nicole Smallman Tuesday 7pm-8pm Fryent Country Park

 

 

 

From #RECLAIM THESE STREETS

On August 3rd, please join us in remembering the lives of Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman surrounded by the people they loved, and to light a candle for all the women threatened on our streets and lost to male violence. 
 
Just over a year ago, these two sisters were taken away from their loved ones - but as their mother Mina Smallman says, they should not simply be remembered as victims. While nothing can bring them back, we hope their lives can make a change in the way women are viewed, and black women in particular.
 
On what would have been Nicole's 29th birthday, we will gather at Barn Hill Pond, Fryent Country Park at 7pm to hold a moment's silence at 7.30. 
 
For those of you unable to travel to Fryent Park, we would love to help you organise your own vigil or you can join us in spirit by lighting a candle on your doorstep.

We Are Dollis Hill; No Nazis Here Vigil Against Racism and Anti-semitism


There was a good turn-out at tonight's vigil in Hamilton Road, Dollis Hill, after the discovery of Nazi graffiti at the weekend.

The vigil was addressed by Rabbi Baruch Levin and Muahmmed Butt, leader of Brent Council as well as members of the local community.

The message was clear that we were united against such attempts to divide the community and had learnt from history what happened if such ideas and movements were not opposed.

The hearts on the bus stop and messages on the pavement were reclaiming our streets.
