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 thestar.com/opinion/2020/08/…

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

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

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:

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

.@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.

I love to see it!
Today tenants from Mississauga, Scarborough, and Parkdale visited the mansions of their landlords George Grossman (CEO, Pinedale Properties) and Daniel Drimmer (CEO, Starlight).
Tenants demanded no evictions and rent forgiveness for tenants unable to pay rent during #COVID19

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.

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

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.

Hey friends! We've recently had an influx of applications from vulnerable sex workers in serious need. The "emergency" part of our emergency fund is becoming more prominent every day.
We are almost out of funds to meet these needs, so please share within your networks!
