London Protest for Tempi Train Disaster – February 28, 2025 Tomorrow marks two years since the Tempi train disaster, where 57 lives were lost due to negligence and systemic failures in Greece’s railway system. In London, a solidarity protest will take place at the Greek Embassy at 6 PM, joining demonstrations worldwide to demand justice, accountability, and real safety reforms. As part of the general strike, many will also stay silent on social media, ensuring space for protest updates. ✊ Justice for Tempi – We won’t forget. 📍 London: Greek Embassy, 6 PM #JusticeForTempi #DenExwOxygono

My thoughts are with Goldsmiths colleagues this weekend who are waiting to find out who will receive redundancy notices on Monday. Please share - on why this matters to anyone who believes in the transformative power of education.
