A Bike Protest in Support of the Black Lives Matter Movement - Toronto
Joined July 2020
Last Friday 300 Toronto cyclists rode for #BlackLivesMatter. In August @fordnation hired 200 cops, not teachers. We'll ride & take action until communities asking for help are heard. #DefundthePolice. @bikepoc, @BikeForBLMTO & @thebikebrigade

I was helping a cyclist safely pass a film set on Queen W. @TorontoPolice Const Clarke got upset & aggressive. Unmasked he yelled in my face about YOU CYCLISTS...& swore at me. I think he has a history. Can we confirm this video is him? Be careful w him. https://t.co/0W6smc9PCn

A #TorDan constituent reminded me about this conversation @RoweSantos #HappyNewYear :) Adding both @paulafletcherto @jenniferstoryto as cyclists to #AMPLIFY this article HT @BrownBikeGirl 'What White Allies Can Do to Make Cycling Equitable for All Riders' https://t.co/OAUBog2PVH

That is key for temporary bike lanes esp. if city has declared emergency. @petertabuns doesn’t own a car. @PaulaFletcherTO @jenniferstoryTO are cyclists too. But you need YES from Mayor.

Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “There comes a time when silence is betrayal.” via @ShreeParadkar On Friday, Jan 8th 2021 it’ll be 200 days since a statement on #DefundThePolice was made for #TorontoDanforth but 0 follow up. What’s next @PaulaFletcherTO? https://t.co/AMezdGdA9V

Shouldn’t we logically be focusing on corporate fraud then? Where are all the “fiscal conservatives” now?
Street crime cost to Canadians: $1,8 billion a year Corporate fraud cost to Canadians: $36 billion a year

Introduced Jack to #Elsicer’s images & words: 175+ days of silence. #Tordan is still waiting for @PaulaFletcherTO’s next steps regarding reducing & reallocating. 16 days until 2021. How do constituents take part in crafting this plan? #EnemyOfMyJusticeIsIgnoranceAlliendWithPower

This is how we rationalize spending 3.5 Billion on the RCMP per year. Thanks for keeping us “safe”.

The @HamiltonPolice only know how to respond with violence and this is precisely why we need to defund them. #hamont #onpoli #canpoli

On the eve of @cityoftoronto @CllrCrawford & Dep. Mayor @Thompson_37 announcing the removal of bike lanes a cyclist was killed, in part due to a lack of bike lanes. The disregard for the safety of vulnerable road users is unconscionable @CycleToronto

Police were called to Dufferin Street and Sylvan Avenue at around 6:30 p.m., and announced the woman had succumbed to her injuries at about 7 p.m.

If you don't believe #DestinationDanforth could be removed, think again. We don't currently have a cycling advocated that reps us at city hall. Constituents are the stakeholders in #Ward14 that will make the decision. Take the survey! cc:@paulafletcherto

Toronto spent $160,000 on bike lanes for Brimley Road. Five months later, it’s spending $80,000 to remove them https://t.co/FVLpG0hpaD via @torontostar

At a town hall billed as “improving Toronto’s cycling network”, Councillor Crawford and Deputy Mayor Thompson joined City staff in announcing they would be tearing out the protected bike lanes on Brimley in Scarborough ASAP. #ActiveTO #BikeTO #ScarbTO

They've taken @DesmondCole amongst others. Help us by amplifying this. Shameful behaviour from @HamiltonsMayor too afraid of facing youth and their courageous effort for reallocating police budget towards homelessness. Help us! @TheAgenda @TheSpec @NatObserver
