Thanks to @UBCIC Grand Chief Stewart Philip and his wife honourable MLA @NdpJoan for joining @SpiceRadioVan ‘s annual Hands Against Racism event in Surrey this past Sunday. A Red Power couple indeed. ✊
@JovenNarwal@SpiceRadioVan@UBCIC Honour on us. Thanks for accepting this small token of love. By doing that you have done us a favour. It’s not the other way around as this gives legitimacy to our campaign and restores our confidence in what we are doing. 🙏
