EVENT: 22nd June 2020 : Windrush Day 2020, reflecting on the ongoing campaign for justice
This country owes a huge debt to the Windrush generation. The injustices that the Windrush generation and their families have faced have not gone away, as they struggle to secure their status and access the compensation they deserve.
Three years on from the breaking of the Windrush scandal, we invite you to join us for this discussion, on Windrush Day 2020, on the ongoing campaign for justice for the Windrush generation and descendants.
Join us to hear from: www.london.gov.uk/windrush-day-2020
