Some pals over at East End Acts are still plucking away at our little campaign. Let the @torontolibrary know that you want to see accountability for their removal of Refaat Alareer's poem from the Main st library branch actionnetwork.org/letters/demand…
From our Twitterless pals at East End Acts 🍉
Beaches-East York: be sure to contact the branch manager, Jennifer Sloane at 416-393-7649 or [email protected] to convey your disappointment that she caved this absurd demand. Refaat Alareer's poem should not be censored by our library. Let her know!
Dozens of people have shut the rail line at Osler St. and Pelham Ave. in Toronto in solidarity with Palestine. They are calling on the Canadian government to immediately impose a full two-way arms embargo on Israel as its attacks on Gaza continue. 📷Photo by Ian Willms
💥Residents of Toronto—St. Paul's, the federal by-election is coming. Speak up! Demand that candidates & political parties condemn Israeli injustices against Palestinians or they will lose our votes. Sign the voting pledge today! actionnetwork.org/petitions/toro… #cdnpoli #tostpauls
Pretty wild that the TPA thinks the role of the TPSB is to always side with them

The city we could be / the city we are because we keep giving over a billion dollars to the cops every year
With city council meeting to discuss Toronto's budget tomorrow, the Toronto Star is reporting that Mayor Olivia Chow is considering caving to police pressure and giving them the budget increase they want. Our article from last month about Chow's choice. thegrindmag.ca/defunding-poli…
Some of the councillors holding up this budget rode in on the coattails of progressive support. For us, this issue is CENTRAL. Not a bonus. Not peripheral. We will not gloss over the record of any councillor who votes in support of the police.
Olivia Chow wants to be remembered as a mayor who watered down any semblance of a progressive agenda in favour of "getting along". We will not forget.

A better Toronto doesn't involve more cops. We know that. You know that. Black and indigenous people, poor people and other marginalized people have been screaming at the top of their lungs that cops are killing them. Any mayor who increases their budget is okay with this.
/1 Since Chow has taken office, we have been told the city is broke, and asked to pressure the Province and the Feds for a better deal. The budget consultations have asked us to prioritize: what should we cut in order to fund other priorities? We think there is an obvious choice.
A reminder that every single dollar given to the police is a dollar that could have been better spent somewhere else. Every dollar that Chow is putting into the TPS in this budget is a dollar that she had a CHOICE to put somewhere else, but did not.
When the cops double-down on their horrible response times.

It’s not over yet ! KEEP THE PRESSURE ON YOUR COUNCILLORS — here’s a phone/email template for all to use ! Share widely, and let’s tell @cityoftoronto that CARE ≠ COPS ! #CareNotCops #TorontoBudget
Thank you for the amazing support @michael_deforge! As hundreds of tenants at 33 King and 22 John enter the nine and eight months on rent strikes, these posters are going up all over the city ✊️✊️

A few years ago the @torontolibrary dug its heels in on platforming a transphobic speaker in the name of anti-censorship and mishandled the fallout. I can’t stomach the stark differences in definitions of censorship and harm between that situation and this.
This is the email we all received following complaints of censorship at the Main branch of the @torontolibrary. B'nai Brith has publicly taken credit for the removal of Dr. Alareer's poem, which should be publicly clarified by the library if it is untrue.

How would you categorize calling Palestine solidarity marches "unsanctioned pro Hamas rallies" and sitting back while your police blow millions on pre-dawn raids to arrest random people for postering?

Per capita funding for the cops has almost doubled since amalgamation. By their own admission, they've only hired 37 more cops. All to respond to less crime, and the same calls for service, despite Toronto's population growth. Meanwhile, we need to call in ambulances from Peel.
@TOCitizensCo This is a really great initiative! Thanks for organizing this!
