This is our collection of images marking the struggles and action of the Mikey Powell Family and friends.

The event MOVING FORWARD TOGETHER ‘staying focused – keeping up the struggle’ was led by the Mikey Powell Campaign for Justice and supported by Migrant Media, the film makers that made the INJUSTICE film.

The event bought together a number of families and artists including the world renowned poet Benjamin Zephaniah (and cousin of Mikey Powell), in Birmingham on 27th May 2005 to help launch a major new campaign, and to shine a spotlight on the cases of many other families affected by deaths in police and institutional custody.
