The
murder of George Floyd by racist cops in Minneapolis in May sparked protests
that have rocked the United States and a wave of solidarity actions in Britain
and the rest of Europe. The British Black Lives Matter movement has taken the
lead the campaign demanding racial equality, social and criminal justice and
basic human rights. Last Sunday they took the knee for George Floyd in the
Feltham Arcade in West London.
BLM supporters, including two Labour
councillors as well as local religious leaders, gathered in Feltham High Street
at 1.30 pm for a peaceful demonstration in solidarity with all protesters
against racism and demand racial justice globally. The West London organisers
plan to continue the demonstration on a fortnightly basis and the next one is
set for Sunday 12th July.
