Briefly appearing here to let people know about this. Small to mid-scale orgs in London have done loads of incredibly advocacy / solidarity work since pandemic started - and I want to give some capacity to co-ordinating that because everyone is getting burned out by it.

I did a little moan on social media about the state of arts funding and practical hero Tom Ryalls 🧑🏻‍🚀 reached out and said we should do something about it. Solo fundraisers / CEO's of arts orgs, this is for you👇

CN: Fire, death & systemic discrimination.. I’m holding Grenfell United & all those impacted by this preventable tragedy in my heart & thoughts today. Also thinking a lot about Lakanal & the many other missed opportunities to ensure our homes are safe. Now: Action, Justice, PEEPs

🚨 Grenfell Inquiry report 🚨 - "Complacent" govt "well aware" of risk of cladding disaster but failed to act - "Systematic dishonesty" by product manufacturers "very significant reason" for fire - "Chronic and systemic" fire safety failures by tower's social landlords

CN: Grenfell, fire... "Every death was 'avoidable!" On 14/06/17 I wrote: A great number of kids will go to bed tonight in homes that are overcrowded, unsafe & unfit for human habitation. None of us should rest until this has been changed. Sadly still true touretteshero.com/2017/06/14/sea…

Our Co-chair Dennis Queen was on BBC Breakfast this morning with Jamie Hale discussion ongoing systemic access problems in society youtu.be/fvYhMJYbj6M

I'm writing something and I think maybe for the first time in my life I'm realising how much of my time I've spent making non-disabled people feel ok when they've failed to meet my access needs just to avoid the pfaff and awkwardness. No more though, no more.

The final report of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry has told the government to take urgent action to prioritise the safety of disabled people and other “vulnerable” residents who live in high-rise residential buildings. #Grenfell #GrenfellInquiry buff.ly/4dQMTuO
