February 14th ANNUAL WOMEN’S MEMORIAL MARCH:
In light of the historical atrocities, colonialism, genocide and ongoing women, CUPE Local 1936 would like to express condolences to the missing and murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, their families and friends and to the Indigenous community as we honor the lives lost during yesterday’s memorial march.
We know the Women’s Annual Memorial March does not bring back the lives unjustly taken, and want to join with you in honoring the memory of women and girls whose lives were stolen far too soon.
Our thoughts are with you as you mourn, and we mourn alongside you and pledge to do our best to contribute to Truth and Reconciliation. We stand with you against colonization, racism and discrimination.
In solidarity,
Sheryl Burns
