Folks, we have TWO days to make this goal. A bit of food, water, shelter for six families & support for a mutual aid team serving fifteen displaced families. Simple.

We invite all Arsenal fans, all London club supporters, and anyone who believes in justice to join us outside the court. Together, we will peacefully protest, stand in solidarity with survivors, and show that sexual violence in football will not be ignored.

See you all there 🩵 #ASASV
