Calgary’s march calling on the reallocation of police funds will coincide with the Stonewall March and Rally organized by Rights for All Refugees in Canada to support LGBTQ rights. Organizers of the weekend rally said attention will also be given to the Land Back movement.
“Today, we defund the madness. We defund the killers,” a speaker says. “This is a revolution.” #yyc
