Nelson Moosehide Campaign Day: An invitation to create the future!
Nelson Moose Hide Campaign Day is an invitation to a day of ceremony, curiosity, rally, and walk so that we join together to stand against violence towards women, children and all those along the gender continuum. Together we will take practical steps for our collective health and journey to reconciliation.
Fast to End Violence: (optional)
As is common in many cultures, fasting is a symbol of commitment and a way to deepen your intention. We encourage everybody to participate in the fast from sunrise to sunset on Moose Hide Campaign Day.
