Louie Louie’s Legacy.

The Legacy of Louie Louie.

Louie Louie Ward Herbert died on Feb 19th 2024. Aged just 41

Louie led a life of activism, community organising, courage, lifting others up, fighting for justice, friendships, and dancing like every body was watching.

In his memory, and to help continue that passion, we are raising money for three campaigns dear to Louie’s heart: Acorn, Aid Box Community and Palestine Solidarity Campaign.

Acorn, itself co-founded by Louie, is a community based union of working class people, including tenants, workers and local residents. Working as a mass membership organisation in cities across the UK to organise communities to win the power and representation we are entitled to.

Aid Box Community (ABC) is a Bristol-based humanitarian organisation set up in response to the continuing refugee crisis. Working to ensure that the rights of refugees and those seeking asylum are respected so that they have the opportunity to achieve financial and emotional independence. We support asylum seekers and refugees with a free shop & welcome hub, activity groups, signposting advice, a crisis fund and a befriending service.

Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) is a community of people working together to campaign for Palestinian rights and freedom: for peace, equality, and justice and against racism, occupation, and colonisation. We believe in people power. The more of us standing together, raising the call for justice and equality, the louder our voice. We know that united we can take on the might of governments, corporations, and the media – and we can win.

The funding will help support the current humanitarian crisis in Gaza

The funding raised will be divided between these 3 organisations. If you want to donate to one particular organisation please make that clear in your comments alongside your donation.

And whilst we appreciate any generosity, we recognise the difficult financial situation many are in, and so would prefer to see many small donations from a wide range of people rather than an expectation of large amounts from a few individuals (though if you can contribute more please do) as we strive to raise £3,000.

Please share this widely amongst your friends, family, colleagues and comrades.

The fund will close 30th April
