Community Assembly - Intimate Partner Violence is an Epidemic

SOUND THE ALARM: INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE IS AN EPIDEMIC // JULY 15 AT 5:30PM AT THE MIDLAND PIER

One year ago, Julia Brady was killed by her intimate partner. We remember her. And we recognize her death for what it was: a femicide. 

Across this province, women and gender-diverse people continue to face intimate partner violence every day — and in too many cases, it ends in tragedy. Yet the Ontario government still refuses to declare this crisis what it is: an epidemic. 

We invite you to join us for a community assembly and collective action to mark the one-year anniversary of Julia Brady’s death, to honour her life, and to call for urgent systemic change. 

This event will include: 

  • Remarks from feminist advocates, survivors, and frontline workers 
  • A moment of collective reflection 
  • A public call to action to demand that the provincial government declare IPV an epidemic 
  • Opportunities to connect, speak, and take action together 

We are not gathering in silence. We are gathering in solidarity. 
Please join us. 

Bring a noisemaker (pot, pan, bell, drum, whistle) as part of our collective action.
