I need some help from my free and able bodied Mikmaq and fellow Nova Scotians to join me on Tuesday, June 25th to walk with this worthy cause from Truro towards the New Brunswick border... here is alittle about the group who are walking for Missing and Murdered Aboriginal women and the need for a National Inquiry.... Please read about them, I will add link too. Tears4Justice walk to begin June 21 The walkers and their supporters hope to gain support for the federal government to fund a national inquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women and girls. Ottawa (20 June 2013) - Family members of missing and murdered Aboriginal women are preparing for a trek across the country. This year the Tears4Justice walk will begin June 21, National Aboriginal Day, in Sydney, Nova Scotia with the goal of arriving in Prince Rupert, B.C. on September 21. Gladys Radek organized the walk and told the delegates at the 2013 NUPGE convention she did so to "promote action and answers for her niece who went missing, and all the others, along the Highway of Tears in northern B.C." The walkers and their supporters hope to gain support for the federal government to fund a national inquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women and girls, and to ensure recommendations are made and followed in communities across the country. They also want to draw attention to violence facing native women and girls and the long overdue awareness around the hundreds of missing women and girls around Canada. Along the journey many families of murdered and missing women will show support to the walkers by joining in.
