From Glenda about the walk for missing women in Canada-
blessings,
Bluejay
Good day friends and allies. As you know we are preparing for a very powerful journey across the country called the walk4justice for the missing and murdered women on June 21, 2008 to September 15, 2008.
At this time we are overwhelmed with response from community's across the country. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for offering all your support. We would like to ask all of you to help us divise a map for this journey! We would like to know who is joining us from town to town so we can get an idea of how many people we need to accommodate, feed and what to do upon arriving in Ottawa. We need contact information and support letters from everyone to ensure that all arrangments are secured. We need to gather information about the missing and murdered women and their family's so we can represent them once we are in Ottawa, be their voices for their children. We need to hear from the organizations who can work on each of these concerns from every province. We need to know who our spiritual leaders will be and we would like to follow our traditional protocol across the nation.
From the community's we would like involvement in putting the banners and pictures of their loved ones together so we can honor them through prayer and let the family's know that we will be their voices. Community's could hold fundraising events to help pay for supplies such as food, gas, medical,shoes, socks, weather gear, honorariums, tobacco, sage, sweetgrass and traditional medicines and whatever supplies needed to make this journey a success.
We need to let our leaders know that these women and children will not be forgotten and that we intend to stop this violence against our women! We can do it in solidarity! Lets build that bridge so that our future generations will not suffer as we did through injustices. Lets be the positive role models for them.
I thank you all for your invaluable support and hope to hear from you soon.
In Vancouver, BC, there will be a working group meeting at the Aboriginal Mothers Center, 208-2019 Dundas Street, phone 604-253-6262 on April 1, 2008 from 3:00-5:00 p.m.. Please, come join us if you can!
