Here are the facts:
From 2000-2017, Blacks were 36.5% of those killed by Toronto police, despite being 8.3% of the city's population.
Black Canadians are 3% of the population, but 10% in federal prisons and are more likely to be in maximum security and subject to use-of-force.
The team at @FoodShareTO has partnered with @notanotherblkto to provide FREE Good Food Boxes to Black Families who are currently self-isolating after attending the #JusticeforRegis March on Saturday. The sign up link is included in the poster below. #BlackLivesMatter
in the next few days there will be calls for reform, for training, for more money to the police to train. There will be calls for inquests and other strategies that rely on the state. we must resist the temptation of finding a solution for state violence *from the state*.
