Organised by Vancouver Journalists and in partnership with Inspirit Foundation and CFWIJ, a #JournalistsforJournalists vigil in Vancouver will be held to mourn and honour the 99 journalists who have been killed in Gaza, Israel and Lebanon since October 7.

As a rule, journalists don’t opine or protest. But one thing we have always stood up for is the right of journalists to safely and freely report the truth in war and peace, and the right of the public to have access to that truth. 

That’s why this vigil is designed to be a moment for us to collectively reflect and reaffirm our commitment to press freedoms here and across the world.
