Militant Mothers of Raymur

The Militant Mothers of Raymur were a group of largely single mothers who coordinated a series of blockades on the railway tracks near their homes, the Ray-Mur Housing Project, starting on January 6, 1971. They were concerned for the safety of the children who needed to cross the railway tracks to attend school at nearby Admiral Seymour Elementary in the Strathcona neighbourhood of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
