..It’s a big crowd at the Vancouver Art Gallery for #BlackLivesMatter #protest #GeorgeFloyd #vanpoli #bcpoli

The bells of Christchurch Cathedral began ringing at 5:25 and didn’t stop for several minutes
#GeorgeFloydprotest #Vancouver #vanpoli

And then after some chanting of #BlackLivesMatter, there was a moment of silence with fists raised - everyone

This sign: 7,666 Black people were killed by police in the US in the past 6 years. #BlackLivesMatter #Vancouver

Sadly we can’t hear the speeches from where we are on Georgia Street. As an aside, while people aren’t 6’ distanced, they are not standing that close either, and virtually *everyone* is wearing a mask. It feels pretty safe in every way.

It’s not police brutality, it’s murder #BlackLivesMatter #Vancouver #GeorgeFloyd #GeorgeFloydProtests
