social justice | human rights | local change makers.

Black protest has given Canadians a standard of human rights, and a level of inclusion, equity and diversity. But there’s more to do | The Star https://t.co/0yfr5kdzcG

[The People's Pantry @peoplespantryTO]

With more and more public spaces starting to reopen across the GTA, it is important to remember that the battle for #FoodJustice is not over. #FoodInsecurity didn't start with COVID-19, nor will it end with it! For more info on our initiative, please click the link in our bio🍴♥️

you voted for body-worn cameras as a solution to police brutality—a project that will cost up to $50 million—and voted against reallocating a tiny tiny 10% of the police budget to community services

stop pretending you care for ”meaningful change” around policing in this city

[Rosé Bautista @DesmondCole]

this decision was expected—the SIU clears 97% of officers it investigates—but it's devastating because it reminds us that police have ultimate authority but almost no accountability

sending love to Regis' family, friends and community today, our fight in her memory continues

[Rosé Bautista @DesmondCole]

you just voted for cameras so you can watch us die the next time. resign and shut up

[Sara Mojtehedzadeh @SaraMojtehedz]

NEW: More than a 180 workers at this Toronto industrial bakery got COVID-19. But the public wasn't told.

Why do we know so little about where - and why - workplace outbreaks are happening? @jyangstar and I dig in:

"Canada’s oil and gas industry and its allies have lodged a powerful story in the political conversation...What isn’t mentioned is that the 3 C–warmer world that needs more Canadian oil is a world no one should want." https://t.co/ODHadC642h #cdnpoli

[Disability Justice Network of Ontario @djnontario]

1. The province has allowed & sustained a social assistance program that is well below the poverty line. Disabled people aren't making enough to live on and don't want to stay on this program as it is. The way we treat social assistance in this province is unethical. #ODSPoverty

[Parkdale Organize @ParkdaleOrg]

Follow @peoplespantryTO the group that supplied us with the free groceries we distributed to hundreds of our neighbours in #Parkdale during the shutdown.

[PeoplesDefenceTO @Peoples_Defence]

.@PeoplesPantryTO also hooked us up with free groceries for tenants in #Teesdale. When the state and politicians bail on working class people, we are capable of creating our own institutions to defend and take care of one another. We need more of this.

[Openly Black Kelzcast @Kelzcast]

I love to see it!

[Josh Hawley @squashhawley]

@blogTO Landlords not only expect tenants to bail them out during the worst economic situation since the Great Depression, they'll also use dehumanizing intimidation tactics. The only option is for tenants to come together and take matters into our own hands.

[Black Rose/Rosa Negra @BRRN_Fed]

The landlords trying to evict tenants during a pandemic have names and addresses - let's take the fight to their door steps. #TenantPower

[Keep Your Rent Toronto @KeepYourRent]

The head of Ontario's biggest landlord organization, FRPO, knows CERB is wholly inadequate given rent prices in Toronto.

Yet his member landlords continue to demand rent payments and make threats of eviction against working class people.

[Cheryl Foggo @cdfoggo]

One of many examples of Calgary’s historic racism. A petition to keep Black people out of Victoria Park was signed by around 75 % of residents of the community, including R B Bennett.
