Label TextAshley Bilcliffe was among 10,000 Londoners who converged on Victoria Park on June 6, 2020, to express their outrage at the May 25 killing of Minnesotan George Floyd at the hands of police. Ashley crafted the three signs offered here. She carried one of them during the demonstration and two of her friends carried the others. The June 6 rally, organized by five young London women, was one of the largest rallies/demonstrations that London has ever seen. Part of the Black Lives Matter movement, the rally was part of a global effort to call for racial equality for Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour around the world, including here in London and across Canada.
