PSA: Defund the Police! Protest and film, Halifax, June 9

When: Tuesday, June 9, 8:30 PM

Where: City Hall, Halifax

Check the Facebook event for latest updates

The People of Halifax want change and we aren’t done fighting for it!

Our city council continues to pour more money into the police than ANY other budget line, and we won’t stand for that. Now’s the time to Defund the Police and re-allocate resources towards healing and true justice in our communities.

Join us at City Hall for a protest followed by a free public screening of “Whose Streets?”; the critically acclaimed documentary about the killing of Michael Brown and the Ferguson Uprising.

Wear a mask and keep a safe social distance.
Bring a lawn chair, blankets, pillows, snacks, or anything else you’d like to make yourself comfortable with.
