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

It's happened 🥁 Language as Statecraft is available now from @RoutledgeLing 🎉 The book offers an original analysis of the politics of language in Rwanda, for a theory of global English that centres class struggle, capitalism, and colonialism. 🧵
