A very courageous friend of mine sent me the following over the weekend. Her words speak for themselves:
Silence is the root of the problem of violence against womyn, not the solution. Many of us have hidden memories, traumas and pain that create a burden on our souls. This Sunday is the 20th Anniversary of the Montreal Massacre at l’École Polytechnique.
Please honor the 14 brave women who died at the hands of Marc Lepine by speaking your truth everyday, and by repeating the following Martin Luther King quote aloud this Sunday: “Our life begins to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”
