? WINDRUSH DAY CELEBRATION - Sunday 22nd June 2014, 3.15pm Windrush Square, Brixton, London SW2 1EF Last year a campaign was launched for the institution of Windrush Day to be observed on an annual basis to celebrate the contribution of migrants to Britain over many centuries. An online petition was launched, a letter written to the Times and a service was held at Bloomsbury Baptist. This year we plan to meet at Windrush Square in Brixton on Sunday 22nd June 2014 at 3.15pm for a short programme, to recognise the invaluable contribution that migrants have made to Britain over many years, with particular reference to faith and their sacrifice in the First World War. The programme will last about an hour. We very much hope that you will be able to attend, and that you'll encourage you and others to be present at this important event. <http://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/join-calls-to-celebrate-windrush-day-every-year>www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/join-calls-to-celebrate-windrush-day-every-year?<http://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/join-calls-to-celebrate-windrush-day-every-year><http://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/join-calls-to-celebrate-windrush-day-every-year> Please share the petittion link and also tweet using ?#?<https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/windrushday2014?source=feed_text&story_id=10154353537870227>WindrushDay2014?<https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/windrushday2014?source=feed_text&story_id=10154353537870227><https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/windrushday2014?source=feed_text&story_id=10154353537870227> We look forward to seeing you at the celebration on the afternoon of 22nd June 2014.
