Stolen Sisters Sponsored Anti-Photography Protest
I went to the ANTI-PHOTOGRAPHY Protest today that was hosted by the STOLEN SISTERS; Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women March in Victoria, BC.
From the event description;
"...there be no photography during the March without explicit permission of those photographed."

The DTES Annual Women's Memorial March makes NO mention of silly photo restrictions.

The numerous march Photography Police wore "NO PHOTOGRAPHY" signs on their chest, confusing the general public because there were few other signs than those worn by the Photography Police, making it hard to tell that it was actually a March for Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women, and not an Anti-Photography Protest.
I was stopped by 7 Stolen Sisters Photography Police, and two of them questioned me for so long I missed most of the march. I've never been harassed so much at a single event, not even from the actual police.
It was disappointing to see so few white women and their allies at the Victoria Stolen Sisters March, especially considering the sea of white flesh at the recent Victoria Rally in Solidarity with the Women's March on Washington.
