As one of the other writers of Nova Scotia Advocate I just want to show my support for all recent protest happening in Halifax Lately.

I know lately their have been a lot of protest happening here in Halifax, including Black lives Matter, and what this current story is talking about. I believe it is important for Halifax to do it’s part is remembering “Chantel is the 26 year old mother from the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation killed by a police officer early in the morning of June 4th, in Edmunston, New Brunswick, during what was supposed to be a wellness check”, after all whereas New Brunswick is our neighboring province. Plus I believe it is important to do our part here in Halifax remembering Gorge Floyd. It is all about creation of strong community and creating a better world.

The one thing regarding all recent protest that impressed me (aside from people fallowing the public health protocols while present at these protest) is how quickly these protest got organized with very little public advertising involved.

A question I have is “how can the organizers of these protest plan these protest on short noitce and still get a large turnout qiuckley within only a day or two of getting the word out?

It is because of the fact that the date and timing of these protest I find are never well advertised is the reason why I personally end up missing a lot of them. I yet 100% support what these protest are about.

I will end my comment by saying “I know my writing in the Nova Scotia is about poverty related issues” still I know their a relationship between what these protest are about and poverty. The relationship is all about the need for people and communities to come together and support one another. We got to remember, “some of these people who are related to those whom we remember could very well be people living in poverty” – That is why I support 100% these protest.
