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.

There was also live music, and a palpable feeling of solidarity in the air.

systems in the world? 

Belarus Free Theatre combines forces with Pussy Riot’s Maria
Alyokhina in her...
