the ark initiative
London
My name is Pierre Noah and I am one of the five men who rescued an individual
during the Black Lives Matter march on the 13 June 2020 in central London. After
the video footage of George Floyd's death went viral on social media, the
peaceful demonstrations planned in London to show solidarity changed over the
course of the week and became increasingly violent once right-wing extremists
announced that they were also going to attend the march in central London.
Watching this on television at home prompted me to call my associates to support
me under the umbrella of my security company ARK Protection Limited and to work
in conjunction with the police to ensure safety for our young men and women who
were attending the march peacefully. ACC was established in December 2020
following our intervention and my appeal to the Prime Minister for support to
rebuild broken communities. Samuel Kasumu who served as Special Advisor to Prime
Minister Boris Johnson was instrumental in supporting and facilitating the
establishing of ACC. Our primary focus is on four pillars: New model youth club
Education Tackling youth crime Parental support networks
