Hello everyone,****

** **

I’m wondering if you can help me promote the following campus events.****

** **

Sincerely,****

**CJ******

On December 6, 1989, an armed man walked into an engineering class at
l’École Polytechnique de Montréal. After forcing the men to leave, he
stated that he hated feminists. He started shooting the women in the class,
then beyond it. At the end of his killing rampage, he shot himself.****

** **

As a result of these acts of violence, and the link that was made between
these acts and everyday sexism, ****Canada**** established December 6 as
the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. The
day marks not only the anniversary of the massacre, but also reminds us of
acts of gender based violence against women in ****Canada**** and around
the world. As a day of action, it prompts us to take steps to end violence
against women.****

** **

The UBC December 6th Memorial is hosting a series of events and initiatives
for National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.
Please promote these events to your networks. We hope to see everyone very
soon.  ****
