I’m sharing this because silence feels wrong. Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, paediatrician and former director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, has been detained since Dec 2024. Amnesty says without charge or trial. His lawyer says his life is in danger. Please watch. Share. Speak up. #FreeDrHussamAbuSafiya

Last night City Hall shone green in memory of the 72 people who lost their lives in the Grenfell Tower fire. We hold their loved ones and the survivors in our thoughts. London will never forget them, and we will continue to stand with the community in their fight for justice.
Modern glass-and-steel civic building illuminated with green interior lighting at dusk, reflected in calm waterfront water beneath a cloudy blue evening sky.Angular contemporary city hall building with green-lit glass facade at twilight, with pedestrians walking in front and residential towers rising in the background.Close view of a modern geometric building with slanted glass walls glowing green at night, set against a deep blue sky with a city skyline visible in the distance.

“World Sickle Cell Day – 19 June 2025” Tell it Loud and Wear Red to show your support! sicklecellsociety.org/wscd25/

	1.	What is WSCD?
Thursday 19 June is UN‑recognised World Sickle Cell Day, a day to raise awareness worldwide  .
	

	2.	Why “Tell It Loud”?
Sickle cell is UK’s fastest‑growing genetic disorder (18K+ people), and stigma, poor care, and lack of understanding persist—so we speak with pride and purpose  .
	3.	What can you do?
	•	Share your story or creativity – poem, song, design, film…
	•	Give blood – especially from Black heritage donors: 12,000 needed/year  .
	•	Write to your MP – back the Early Day Motion for workplace rights  .
	4.	Impact to amplify
	•	Netflix’s Supacell sparked global SCD awareness  .
	•	Community voices helped secure NHS approval for gene therapy (Exa‑cel/Casgevy)  .
	5.	Urgency
With NHS cuts looming and inconsistent care quality, loud voices now can protect and improve
