#JusticeForJared and folks from Defund 604 Network will be tabling at Spartacus Books.

We acknowledge Mother’s Day For Peace, and honour all mothers who grieve children killed by police.

Canada is waging war on Indigenous People, and police murders are one part of this genocide.

We will be raising awareness about #JusticeForJared and the upcoming “Honouring Our Children” walk, organized by Martha Martin, mother to Chantel Moore and Mike Martin.

ID2. Red, black and gold background. Handmade banner. Text: “Join Martha Martin for Honouring Our Children. No Justice, No Peace. Remember their Names. Tofino to Victoria, May 29 to June 4. Jared Lowndes. “Don’t Back Down.” JusticeForJared.Org. Regis Korchinski-Paquet, Julian Jones, Jamala Francique, Eishia Hudson, Clay Drawford, Rodney Levi, Chantel Moore, Mike Martin.”

In the 6 months since Jared's murder, despite regular actions, letters, campagins, and pressure the family of Jared Lowndes have not found justice for the murder of their son, father, brother, uncle, cousin, and friend. RCMP and all Police forces must not only be held accuntable for murder and violence we must radically reimagine they way we as communities keep ourselves safe.

We invite you and all your friends to join us in a month of Street Art demanding Justice fo Jared, and remembering all loved ones lost to Police and State violence.

One murder at the hands of the police is too many. One assault at the hands of police is too many. One incident of harassment by the police is too many.

In the face of ever escalating police violence against Indigenous, Black, Disabled and other targeted communities we say NO MORE!  In the face of ever growing police budgets impoverishing our communities we say DEFUND THE POLICE!

Abolishing the police and Demanding Justice is an act of Love, Hope, and Imagination!
