Protesting the Anti-Muslim Anti-Immigration protesters in Vancouver
August 19, 2017
Political Theatre in the Streets of Vancouver

Today's anti Muslim - anti immigration protest at City Hall was countered by an estimated 4,000 Vancouverites who believe in the value of inclusion.

As usual there were some terrific signs! One of my favourites said "No Alt-Reich".

It was recognized that when people come together they wield a voice that's stronger and louder than they could possibly have standing alone.
