Thank you for imagining a world of freedom and justice with Angela Davis and BWSS!
We have taken a few days to reflect on the significance of Angela Davis at the Orpheum Theatre last Wednesday. By all accounts, this was a momentous moment in Vancouver. The occasion convened members of our community in a way that we haven’t seen before and the room was a electric, joyous and connected.
Here are some photos from the evening.
