    Dear All,
I am pretty confident that the Spanish network "Universidad y Compromiso
Social" from Sevilla will endorse and support your significant condemnation
of the political murder of Giulio by the Egyptian government (and its
backers) as well as your initiative to establish a fundation for engaged
scholars in his name.
In solidarity

Thanks Azril.  There was a brief item and interview about Giulio's murder
on the BBC's today programme. I guess many will have heard it.

Hi all,
This is a great initiative. As others have said, I think it would be good
to reach out others, and perhaps Giulio's supervisor as the person who
might be more suitable to take forward this idea of a memorial
fund/studentship.
With thanks

All,

Just a thought - we're getting into AGM season in my union (UNISON) at
least.

It might be worth putting together some sort of template resolution/letter
that could be shopped by reps/organisers around branches who might be
sympathetic to making a donation. I suspect some education branches might
be.

Cheers

Phil

thank you all

shall we say that we take until the end of February (29th) to collect
confirmations from willing institutions/networks to donate towards a
memorial/bursary? (If I understood correctly what is meant by memorial)


I have never initiated such a thing before, perhaps we can set up a kind of
'donate page' on line (Jane may be more knowledgable about this) spread it
and see how much we gather? An initial list is starting to emerge here, I
but I am also happy to make myself available to receive confirmation from
all willing donors  at this email address gabriellaluce@...<mailto:

could also write a short text explaining the meaning and motivation of what
we want to do.

all the best

Good points all, Rose.

The International Institute of Social History, Amsterdam, could be
particularly interested in any form of memorial.

thankfully it did). So important in a volatile context to avoid prejudicing

There will be many ways of celebrating Giulio: certainly is most
appropriate for a Cambridge/ UK comrades memorial but also yes, down the
track a wider global labour movement celebration. I can offer to explore
participation by labour history.
