With realistic actions we will work to achieve positive changes and accountability, to produce a system free of any form of racism in transportation agencies.

The Black Transit Workers Association (BTWA) was formed out of the need to tackle systemic racism and inequality in our workplaces and within our unions. #Diversity #Inclusion #Fairness #Equality #OfficialBTWA #TransitWorkers #BlackTransitWorkers #Toronto #Ontario #Canada

One of the toughest assignments emotionally that I have covered in a long time.

Because we share so much of what goes wrong on the #TTC, I want to share a good one. I forgot to bring a mask into the train station, and approached the ticket sales agent at York Mills station with “an odd question.” He immediately walked out of the booth and approached me.

@YamriT @TTChelps going over and beyond.

Sometimes unconscious bias is so obvious. Watch this exchange.

"Where are you getting this data from?" asks CPC MP Larry Brock.

"The Supreme Court of Canada has said it over & over & over again," replies veteran criminal defence lawyer & UWindsor law prof Donardo Jones.

Today is the start of Asian Heritage Month; this is a time to reflect on the contributions of Asian Canadians. Recognizing Asian Heritage Month is an important part of our broader commitment to building a more equitable and inclusive transit system.

[Dr. Notisha Massaquoi @NotishaMassaqu1]

When recruiting Black people for organizations where they have been historically excluded it’s important to not frame the ask as an opportunity for the Black person. It’s actually an opportunity for the org to experience ignored brilliance.

The People’s House has seen few days as glorious as this. Lost it when Her Honor said “My family went from segregation to the Supreme Court in one generation” and quoted Maya Angelou: “I am the dream and hope of the slave.” Looking around, I wasn’t alone.

Happy KBJ Day.
