For Henry Nowak.
Six years ago, this country took a knee for a man it had never met.
A young British student bled to death on a Southampton pavement on the 3rd of December, telling police he had been stabbed while they believed his killer.
He was eighteen.
He has not had a knee from his Prime Minister. He has not had a knee from his Parliament. He has not had a knee from a single one of the institutions that stood up for the last man who said the same words.
So we are asking the public to do what the institutions will not.
Take a knee for Henry Nowak.
Wherever you are. At home. In your garden. In front of a camera. In a public square. Alone or with others. In silence or out loud.
Take a knee and say his name.
Post it with the hashtag. Tag this account. Send it to your MP. Send it to the Prime Minister. Send it to the BBC. Send it everywhere the institutions hoped his name would never reach.
A knee was a symbol the last time this country needed one. Let it be one again.
For an eighteen-year-old British boy who said "I can't breathe" too.
Henry — forever 18. 🤍

This is currently the top bounty on Pump Go and the platform has been live for an hour
Someone is offering $24,584 to track down the family of a killer or the officer involved and film them on camera
This definitely won’t end well
A detail from yesterday’s sentencing that you will not hear on the BBC.
The prosecution revealed in open court that Vickrum Digwa — the man now jailed for life for murdering Henry Nowak — made two videos that night.
The first showed Henry fleeing. Bleeding. Trying to escape across a fence as the wounds Digwa had just inflicted began to kill him.
The second was of Henry dying. Close-ups of his face.
The prosecutor’s exact words to the court: “intrusive and humiliating.”
Henry was 18 years old. He was unarmed. He was sober. He was begging for help. And as he bled out on a Southampton pavement, his killer pointed a phone at his face and pressed record.
Stop and process that.
While Henry was dying, the man who put him there was filming him. Not panicking. Not running. Not calling for help. Filming.
This is the man Hampshire Police believed when they arrived. This is the man whose word they took over a bleeding teenager’s. This is the man who told officers Henry “had not been stabbed” while standing over the footage of Henry doing exactly that.
Six months later, the Prime Minister still has not said Henry’s name.
Look at what was done to him.
Then ask yourself why this country’s institutions have spent six months pretending it didn’t happen.
Henry — forever 18. 🤍

$101,310 designated to 2Wish for Henry Nowak.
1,274 SOL. 100% of creator rewards.
For anyone new to this account — here is how the project works, plainly.
The $henry token was created by an anonymous stranger on https://t.co/egqmZ9Fs0W. No one in the community deployed it, controls it, or profits from it. What happened is that a group of people gathered around it and chose to direct everything generated by the token toward the Nowak family.
Every transaction on $henry generates creator rewards on the https://t.co/egqmZ9Fs0W protocol. 100% of those rewards are designated through https://t.co/wsgOJxeNMh to 2Wish for Henry Nowak — the official UK charity standing with his family. The recipient is locked. The funds cannot be redirected.
This is the mechanism. It runs in the background. The community is not asking anyone to do anything. We are showing what has already been built.
Six figures, raised by strangers across the world, for a family they have never met, in the name of a teenager who deserved more than the silence offered to him by every institution that was meant to protect him.
Transparency over hype.
Receipts over promises.
Henry over everything.
Henry — forever 18. 🤍
