Despite all the intimidation from politicians, the mayor, the police and the media, Vancouver showed up for Palestine tonight! Over one thousand people came out on short notice to demand freedom and justice for Palestinians, as yet another genocide is happening in real time in Gaza.
The rally included indigenous supporters and a broad cross-section of Vancouverites that rejected the dominant narrative trying to demonize all pro-Palestine support. It was also one of the most heavily policed pro-Palestine rallies in Vancouver history, the cops even brought their canine unit (for what purpose other than intimidation of an already traumitized community, we’re not sure).
