The Call Out:

Fwd:

Cindy Gladue was a 36-year-old Indigenous mother when she was murdered in an Edmonton motel room four years ago.

Last week a mostly-male jury (that did not include any Aboriginal people) acquitted her killer, a white Ontario man, because they believed that Cindy had consented to the violence that left an 11 cm wound in her vagina, causing her to bleed to death.

Cindy’s death is a reminder that Indigenous women’ lives and sex workers’ lives are not valued in this deeply racist, sexist and misogynist society.

We support the calls for an appeal and other forms of justice!

Join us to express our outrage!
