US Embassy protest says NO to Trump

Nine Elms, London. Mon 9th Jul 2018



 'Wandsworth Welcomes Refugees - Building Bridges Not Walls'

 Police talk to one of the protesters, Jean Rathbone, who is wearing a 'Votes For Women' suffragett sash
     
 The north side of the embassy building faces the main road on which the protest was taking place and is not covered like the other 3 sides

 

 The protest was at the pedestrian entrance to the Embassy garden, and those entering and leaving were offered flyers

 The protest was organised by Wandsworth Momentum

 

 
     
  

 

 We were told about Charlotte Despard, a leading suffragette, who devoted much of her time to helping the poor

of Battersea, living for some years above a welfare shop on the Nine Elms site now occupied by the US embassy.
She was one of the founders of the Women's Freedom League, a militantt non-violent breakaway from the Pankhurst-dominated WSPU.
