Homes for All joined up to 5,000 survivors, residents and others on the Grenfell Silent Walk, Wednesday 14 June 2023.

Six years on from the fire, it is now 72 months since 72 people lost their lives.

All those present vowed to continue the fight for justice and accountability.

As the walk moved off behind the United For Grenfell banner, marchers held placards proclaiming “This much evidence, still no charges”.

The mood was sombre. Many of the marchers, and many more local residents, wore green to symbolise determination to see justice for Grenfell.  Firefighters formed an honour guard for the walk.

Speakers at the rally afterwards spelled out the culpability of the suppliers of the dangerous materials used at Grenfell; and the culpability of the local authority which allowed them to be used. There must be jail time, for justice to be done.

The government has already broken its pledge to implement the recommendations of the Grenfell Public Inquiry, because the owners and managers of high rise buildings have not been required to provide Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (PEEPs) for all disabled residents.

Survivors spoke to the rally about their loved ones who died in the fire. Marcia Rigg from the United Friends and Families Campaign also spoke powerfully, linking Grenfell with the campaigns of those whose family members have died at the hands of the police.
