THE LATEST CAMPAIGN UPDATE

The latest campaign update from the Jean Charles de Menezes Family Campaign.

In the last month the family campaign has been attending meetings and demonstrations asking individuals and organisations to support their demands for justice. We continue to welcome invitations to speak at schools/colleges/trade union branches/community centres so please contact us if you would like a speaker.

On the 29th Oct the campaign joined other families who had lost loved ones at the hands of the police at the annual United Friends and Family Campaign procession and handed in a letter to 10 Downing St demanding an end to shoot to kill.

There are 3 items in this update

1) CAMPAIGN MEETING 14th NOV
2) FUNDRAISER PARTY - 25th NOV
3) BRIEFING ON NEXT LEGAL STEPS (please email justice4jean@hotmail.co.uk for a copy)

We are currently redesigning our website, this should be re-launched and updated in the next month. We are also producing a comprehensive campaign pack containing briefings and campaign material. To get involved in the campaign please attend out next meeting.

CAMPAIGN MEETING

Monday 14 November 2005


A reminder about our campaign organising meeting on Monday 14th November from 7-9pm at the Indian YMCA, 41 Fitzroy Square, London W1T 6AQ. A map can be found HERE

The meeting will be a practical meeting focussing on the next steps for the campaign.

There will be a legal and campaign update followed by a discussion around how we can practically put pressure on the IPCC as they draw up their report and how we can take forward publicising the campaign. We propose to split into sub groups to take forward the campaigning work.

Please arrive promptly as they will be a lot to go through, the campaign is short ofvolunteers so if there is anything you can do please attend and pass on to interested parties

Thankyou for your continued support

Best wishes

Jean Charles de Menezes Family Campaign


PAST EVENTS

Monday 10th October 2005

6.30pm

PLEASE NOTE: the first public meeting of the Jean Charles de Menezes Family Campaign had to be moved from Conway Hall on 3rd Oct due to pressing legal engagements for the family but it will now be taking place on 10th October at the LSE.


As you will be aware, Jean's parents and brother have travelled thousands of miles to come to this country to find out the truth about what happened to their son and to demand justice.

This is an opportunity to show your solidarity and support to Jean's parents and family. They need to know the people of London and this country are with them

Please forward this to all email lists you have and encourage your family, friends and co-workers to attend.

I hope you join us for this public meeting and bring messages of support for the family.

best wishes
