Tomorrow at 10:00 I will be walking the dogs in memory of PCSO Julia James, who was brutally murdered when out walking her dog.
Julia was a daughter, a mum, a wife, a community giver (notably, helping victims of domestic violence leave abusive relationships) and a dog lover.
There is so much that we can all relate to and so many of us who want to pay our respects to her and her family and friends.
The aim is simple. A group of friends get together and walk (with or without dogs) at 10am on May 23rd. If you can't make a walk, you can also be part of this by just remembering Julia at that time wherever you are. We ask that the walk be peaceful and within any government guidelines to keep yourselves safe. If you can wear a blue ribbon for her and maybe leave a flower or two in the place where you walk that will show others that walk later that we remember her. Let us know what you are doing for Julia and use the hashtag #adogwalkforjuliajames in any social media posts.
Please note this is a peaceful walk in her memory, it is not a protest. We are walking in respect for Julia and her life, no matter how frustrated we are about the lack of coverage (and we are!), let's keep this walk about her. If there are more than 30 that want to walk then we will need to split into further groups.
We will walk together knowing that we care and all women are worthy of our attention. Please keep it peaceful.
We will be walking alone, as Julia did on Dartmoor.
I am sending huge love to all of those in policing and pray that justice will be done for Julia.
