‘No justice, no peace’
Many cities in the UK have been saddened by the death of trans school girl, Brianna Ghey. Many cities, including Birmingham, will be holding vigils in honour of Brianna.
Birmingham’s vigil will take place this Friday, February 17th, at 6.30pm outside the Hippodrome Theatre. Everyone is welcome to the vigil to mourn and pay their respects.
