Thank you to everyone who Turned Up For Tessa yesterday!

Tessa’s values live on in the generosity and goodwill of so many others, the support you’ve shown means we are one step closer to achieving her final campaign – to transform NHS brain cancer care!

[Tessa Jowell Foundation @FoundationTessa]

Hugest thank you for this very special tribute to Mum and her integral role in #London2012 from @SadiqKhan @MayorofLondon Like Sadiq says, be sure to celebrate the 10 year anniversary and #turnupfortessa at your local cinema or the Olympic Park screening tonight!

Former Labour cabinet minister Dame Tessa Jowell played an integral part in the delivery of London 2012. She died from brain cancer in 2018.

Her daughter, Jess Mills, is raising money in her memory in aid of brain cancer research.

The ongoing deadly unrest in South Africa has been fueled by criminal justice failures & years of impunity for violence. Authorities must ensure that the unrest is brought under control within intl law enforcement standards & intl human rights obligations.
