Saturday 29th May 2010:
Buchanan Street Glasgow
12pm – 3pm
The event was organised together with Nicola Mc from FaceBook and Alan – We Are Change Glasgow. Just under 2000 flyers were handed out, highlighting more awareness about abuse, sexual abuse and child sexual abuse.
Flyers were handed out on behalf of the Hollie Greig Campaign, highlighting the injustice and calling for a new inquiry.
This was also Nicola’s first demonstration and now she is more than just a ‘keyboard warrior’ . She did very well and kept her calm when being ignored or refused a leaflet. So well done Nicola.
There was also a petiton to call for a change in the law regarding paedophiles, in two hours we collected 200 signatures. There will be a post shortly with more information about the petition and how you can help.
Alan from We Are Change Glasgow was the speaker for the day. His dulcet tones informing people for the need to take action against paedophiles and to call upon the government to take stern serious action and protect our children once and for all. Alan also showed his artistic talents with some chalk and let everyone know that paedophilia just isn’t happening in housing schemes it also exists high up and within ‘the’ establishment. Many stopped to read and got into discussions and were obviously appalled by what they heard, they signed the petition and took leaflets.
The demonstration was a low key affair but it was successful in its own right. With under 2000 flyers given out and collecting 200 signatures, and making and meeting new friends, recieving other information to help us in our Journey To Justice, we left feeling triumphant with the sense of another small achievement and working or way to protecting children and adults.
Many thanks to: Isobel (Innocent Voices) Rena (Innocent Voices) Lorrain Loudon, Nicola Mc and Alan Craig (We Are Change) and everyone else. We appreciate the support and your time and all your hard work.
