The annual International Day Against Racism March, will be held in Vancouver starting at Thornton Park (Main Street Skytrain Station) on the occupied, traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples – specifically the sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh), and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) nations. Then we will march through the Dowtown Eastside and Chinatown and back to Thorton Park. This is where Indigenous, Black, Chinese, Japanese and South Asian people lived historically. The International Day Against Racism is observed annually to remember the 69-people killed by police at a peaceful demonstration in Sharpeville, South Africa against the apartheid “pass laws”. Proclaiming the Day in 1966, the General Assembly of the United Nations called on the international community to redouble its efforts to eliminate all forms of racial discrimination.
