On 22 June, 100s of people came together in Brussels to mourn for Jo Cox. There was a minute of silence even in the Belgian Parliament. Jo wanted justice and fairness, for example for the people fleeing war in Syria. She stirred emotions far beyond her local constituency. Among those mourning were people who never heard of Jo before she was killed. It's her message of solidarity and justice that resonated beyond borders. And Jo is not alone.
