Sean McGovern (Passed away 6 May 2020)

"Under 4th Geneva Convention (on Human Rights) Israel has failed to fulfill its obligation to provide vaccines to all 4.5 million Palestinians living under its military occupation in West Bank, East Jerusalem, & Gaza Strip. ...... the Covid-19 vaccinations chart shows Israel’s remarkable achievement in vaccinating many of "its" citizens." A Luta Continua 🌹🕊

My lovely dear friend I can surely see you making sure we get protected down here, do not let the Angels work too much....we will always miss you

In loving memory of my brother Sean. Maureen xxx

Forever rest in peace my old friend love paddy Carey and family xx

Pleased to support a cause which was close to our Comrades heart.

Seán was a great trade unionist and a passionate campaigner. We couldn’t have hoped for a more dedicated champion for disabled people's rights on the TUC General Council - or for a more kind and decent man.
Frances O'Grady, TUC General Secretary, on behalf of the TUC General Council

Watched your funeral this morning Sean. Your beautiful poems read by your nieces and a wonderful tribute from your nephew. A great choice of music. A day I will never forget, and I will always remember a life well lived.
Farewell my friend and comrade.

In loving memory of Sean , having a son with disabilities myself I felt Sean’s passion for disability rights deeply , he was such a intelligent well read individual and will be sadly missed by many I think these tributes clearly show how well liked and respected he was xxx

I was Sean's workmate for 9 years and also his comrade in UNITE where I was the Equality Rep and he was the shop steward. We were also involved in disability issues in Lambeth through DASL where we both worked. Both being Irish and having a love of poetry, literature and Irish culture we had many a lively chat at work about this. I always admired Sean's passion and dedication to social justice both for workers and for disabled people. He didn't suffer fools gladly but was always willing to help others. I will miss him as a friend and colleague. I have just taken up the baton from him as shop steward at our workplace and hope that I can do as good a job as he did. Farewell comrade! I will never forget you.

Just Watched Sean's funeral. This is for you friends and family

Farewell Brother Sean
So sad to hear of the passing of Sean
A true activist, real warrior and fine union man
Another fallen hero of our movement
We have blocked many a road over the decades
Manned too many barricades for our and others rights
He as much as any united the fights for rights
As another Danner bites the dust
Leaves another empty chair at our table
His compassion, passion and spirit remains with us
As we continue our struggle for social justice
Rest in Peace comrade Sean
We promise never to rest until the war is won
Farewell brother Sean gone but never forgotten

It has been a privilege to work with, and get to know, you as part of the TUC Disabled Workers' committee. You and your insate sense of fairness, and sense of style and fun will be greatly missed.

Sean
The National Committee are devastated by you leaving us so suddenly we will miss you so much. I will ensure your fight and commitment will continue for the fight for justice. Rest in peace my dear friend.

Rest in power, Sean.

Sean.... You loved beyond the world and you cannot be separated by it.
Death cannot kill you, you never die in the heart of those who love you.
To your family and friends.
