There is a candlelight vigil this evening at the Alberta Legislature to remember Alex Pretti, organized by local nurses and joining solidarity with other cities. Unfortunately, I'm sick and can't join, but tonight I lit a candle and wrote a few words to share.

The murder of Alex Pretti yesterday has affected me deeply, not only as an empathetic human but also as someone who has spent more than two decades attending protests, camera in hand. I wrote this poem as a way to digest my thoughts.
