This Saturday 26 October, the United Families and Friends (UFFC) will be meeting in London (Trafalgar Square) and Edinburgh (Bute House) at 12 noon. The same week that police officer Martyn Blake was acquitted of murdering Chris Kaba, it’s even more important to come together. United, we will remember those killed in custody and continue the fight for change.

25 years since the first annual procession memorialising those who died at the hands of the state, we encourage you to join UFFC and stand with bereaved families and friends in their ongoing struggles for justice.
