walk4justice

Good day everyone,
We hope today finds you all in good health and spirits. We are writing all of you supporters of the Missing and Murdered women and the Walk4Justice. We would like to tell you that the W4J is walking again.We will be walking to honor all the Missing and Murdered women from the Highway of Tears, the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver, across British Columbia and Canada. Our goal is to rally and raise awareness of this escalating violence towards women. The Statistics are rising at an alarming rate since 2000 and we have to stop it! It is getting so dangerous for all women these days. It is time to take back our streets and communities and say no more!We will be leaving on May 29, 2009 from the Downtown Eastside Women's Center at 302 Columbia Street after breakfast at 8:00am.We will rally at all major stops and arrive in Prince Rupert on June 22, 2009. Route plan and details to be posted soon on facebook and through email.We are in dire need of volunteers throughout all the communities to come out and support the walkers. There will be at least 12 walkers. We still need donations of shoes, camping gear, phone cards, emergency equipment, medical supplies and cash for gas, food and accommodations. Cheques can be sent to Don Bain, re:Walk4Justice, at the Union of BC Indian Chiefs, Suite 500- 342 Water Street, Vancouver, BC V6B 1B6, phone 604-684-0231.At this time we would like to thank each and every one of you who continue to support the Walk4Justice initiative and are very honored you have chosen to be a part of this historical journey to Justice. We look forward to hearing from all of you. We pray that your and your families remain safe and healthy through these tumultuous times. Prayers to all loved ones and their families.Please feel free to email to frillyfrog08@yahoo.ca for more information.
