Travis Erbacher, The Province
When I was 15, I wrote my first letter to the editor regarding Marc Emery’s arrest. He personally emailed me and told me to keep writing and that I could become a great activist someday.
In May 2009 I became one of the youngest candidates for political office in this country’s history, for the B.C. Green party. I couldn’t have done it without him. He has inspired thousands of other young people to get involved in politics.
This man is a hero, and now I can say proudly, a friend. What is happening to him is despicable.
