Greetings, Walk for justice needs your help. Gladys Radek is one woman who does not need to stand alone. Gladys is in the process of organizing a walk 4 justice for all of the Aboriginal men and women across Canada who have no voice to demand justice because they are either murdered or missing? In many cases no legal authorities are looking for them, their files sit on a shelf gathering dust somewhere whilst their family members are waiting for that phone call from their loved one or the
 RCMP.The walk 4 justice will leave Vancouver on Wednesday June 25, 2008 and is expected to arrive in Ottawa to coincide with the opening of Parliament in September.There are some things you can do in the meantime.     The organizing committee needs your attendance at a planning meeting to be held on Monday
 March 3, 2008 from 2 pm - 5 pm in the Carnegie Theatre, 401 Main Street, Vancouver.  Go online immediately to add your name to petition Prime Minister Harper. Go to petitionsonline.com in the search box type in first nations murdered and missing women and input your info. This petition will be presented to the PM on the opening day of Parliament.  Please forward this email information to all of your contacts on the moccasin telegraph path
 class=Apple-style-span style="FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: Garamond">Gladys hopes to have a person to walk for every missing and murdered woman on the missing women's poster. That is 65 women murdered and missing from the downtown eastside. Will you walk that mile for one woman?As many of you have heard, many family members will have no justice for their daughters, no voice for the murdered women because of the expense of the trial. The families are just as much victims as their daughters. Victim service workers have not supported family members in their time of greatest need during the trial. Not emotionally, not financially, and now not through justice. How will these and other murdered victims get justice if we are silent? Women are continuing to go missing throughout the lower mainland and Fraser Valley,
 locking up one man does not stop the disappearances. We need action!If you can offer just one thing to help this walk4justice, please join us at the planning meeting next Monday. All my relations, Marlene
