Walking With Our Sisters is joining the Moosehide Campaign’s “One-Day National Fast”

WWOS will be participating with Moosehide Campaign in their call for a “One-Day National Fast” on February 12th towards ending violence in our communities.

The Moosehide Campaign is a grassroots movement of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Men who are standing up against violence towards women and children.

On Feb. 12th, 2015, Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal men will meet for the 4th consecutive year in Victoria, BC to stand together to end violence against Aboriginal women and children.  The Moose Hide campaign’s Annual Gathering of Men will take place at the Hotel Grand Pacific from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm followed by a Press Conference at 12:30 pm at the BC Legislature. As part of this day of action, they have called on hundreds of men from across Canada to take part in the One Day Fast.

The National Collective for Walking With Our Sisters supports these efforts and is inviting people to undertake a day of prayer and fasting in solidarity, to support the One Day National Fast and the efforts of the men within the Moose Hide Campaign.

If you would like to show your pledge to fast, please do so posting your photo on either Facebook or Twitter with the following hashtags:
