THAT IS WHY IT IS TIME TO:
!!! TAKE BACK OUR STREETS, TAKE BACK OUR VOICE !!!
This is an annual event that began last year when four young Indigenous women decided to stand up against police violence and brutality when they were accosted, death threatened and harassed by Vancouver Police, while
peacefully singing traditional songs in the park.
They realized that the incident was embedded in racism, sexism, ageism and most acutely - hate. They also realized that the incident of racist police violence they underwent was not isolated, but part of a large experience of police brutality Indigenous people are subjected to daily, and decided to do something.
On September 7th last year, a ceremony was held in the same park the girls were accosted in and a rally and march on Commercial Drive followed. These young women have started an Indigenous day of action against police brutality. We hope many people living under the burden of the oppressive kkkanadian regime will also be inspired to Take back theStreets, Takeback your Voice, and Take a Stand Against Police Brutality.
