Families fighting for justice are stronger together. Last month, Black & Indigenous families who are living through the realities of police murder came together at Honour Their Names.

Each of these families have been forced to confront the shameful andgenocidal violence of the state. #JusticeForJared stands alongside families fighting for justice!

When these families join forces, they are unstoppable.

The family of Jared Lowndes is still waiting on the final decision o fthe Independent Investigations Office of BC, and for the file to be fully
transferred over to the Crown. We know that charges are recommended against at least 3 cops in the murder of Jared Lowndes.

We also know justice is coming. Last week, charges were announced against 5 RCMP officers in the police murder of Dale Culver (Gitxsan &
Wet'suweten).

Justice for Jared, for Dale & for everyone whose precious life was stolen from us by the racist police.

On July 8, 2021, Jared Lowndes (Wet’suwet’en) was attacked &murdered by the Campbell River RCMP on July 8, 2021. For over a year, his
family has tirelessly fought to keep Jared's name in the public's imagination.

Last week, the IIO delivered their findings, following an investigation into 4 Campbell River RCMP officers. The IIO has reason to believe charges
should be brought against at least 3 officers; specifically the RCMP
dog-handler and the 2 officers who shot and killed Jared.

These findings confirm what the family knew: that the RCMP unjustlyexecuted Jared Lowndes.

“An eagle that has been observing the ceremonyand making occasional chatter calls now pipes up louder. The eagles areagreeing, people murmur. There's a pause as everyone listens to the eagle song.Circling down, the eagle swoops towards the gathering. The crowd gasps as asingle feather falls slowly. Traffic stops, as Jason runs to retrieve thefeather for Laura. She will later pass it on to a couple, dear friends of Jaywho are now expecting a baby. They'll give the feather to their daughter, inremembrance of uncle Jay."
