Stop criminalizing people with special needs
Help Nichele Benn
Have We Learned Nothing From Ashley Smith?
This is an effort to change how our law enforcement system reacts to people with special needs

Supporters will meet at Quest Regional Rehabilitation Centre (where Nichele is forced to live). Please park in the front of the building, walk up the second driveway to the side of the building. Supporters will stand outside waiting for Nichele to come out of the building (letting her know she’s not alone) and drive in a procession to the RCMP Station (Red Ribbons tied to car antenna) and four way flashers activated on all vehicles. Once arriving at RCMP station, supporters will exit vehicles and stand in front of the RCMP station waiting for Nichele and her family to arrive. Supporters will wait outside the RCMP Station until the finger printing process is complete and Nichele exits the RCMP station.
