Leadership Convention: Safety Rights and Facebook Page

leadership convention: Several cities followed suit and a March in Toronto was also organized, according to Rabble. According to the event's Facebook page, about 13,000 attended. The idea was for all women to rally in solidarity for health and safety rights, at a time when the overall society marginalizes women and discursively regularizes interpretations of sexual violence. People gathered at Queen's Park, marched towards the U.S. Consulate and later to the City Hall, at Nathan Philip Square. I have not been to anything comparable since the education workers' rally at the Ontario Liberal Leadership Convention held on January 2013. Numbers were indeed impressive.
