Three trucks with bright billboards took to the streets of London on Thursday. The distinct bold style of the message is a reference to the Hollywood drama film Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.
71 people died. Still hundreds of survivors are homeless. Still there is no justice. How come? This is the message of a clever campaign to draw attention to the case of the Grenfell Tower fire in London that claimed lives of 71 people in June 2017.
The blaze, which started with a faulty refrigerator on the fourth floor of the 24-story tower rapidly spread up the new cladding on the outside because of its cheap, highly flammable panels.
Activists from the Justice4Grenfell campaign have launched an eye-catching action „to keep this tragedy in the national conscience, to make our voices heard.“

This is genius!
this is a brilliant idea
So true. The negligence of all contributors = manslaughter at best and murder at worst. Have any been questioned under caution yet?
I can see Grenfell from my office. Sickening to see the lack of action, care or empathy from the local council and government.
Perfect. #Justice4Grenfell #ThreeBillboards pic.twitter.com/5VuDkiK78z
Their focus is to obtain justice for the victims, hold local authorities and the government responsible and ensure the horrific tragedy doesn’t happen again .
According to the Department for Housing, Communities and Local Government, while 299 of the 312 buildings tested in the UK in recent months, only 26 have had the dangerous cladding fully removed.
Hmm, think it’s a reference to something? #justice4grenfell (wasn’t sure about the movie but this is awesome.) pic.twitter.com/MAoVKSOMPr
The style of the campaign is inspired by the Oscar-nominated film about a grieving mother who puts up three billboards asking the local police chief why there were no arrests made following the rape and murder of her teenage daughter.
