‘No Pride in Policing’ march takes place in downtown Toronto
Global News
The march, organized by the No Pride in Policing Coalition and by No More Silence, began in Nathan Philips Square at 11 a.m.
A group calling for the abolition of the police and prisons marched through downtown Toronto on Sunday as part of a weekend of Pride events in the city.
The march, organized by the No Pride in Policing Coalition and by No More Silence, began in Nathan Philips Square at 11 a.m.
The group referenced Interim Toronto Police Chief James Ramer’s apology to the city’s Black communities after data showed Black people faced a disproportionate amount of police enforcement.
“We did not ask for an apology. We asked you to stop brutalizing us, to stop carding us, to stop killing us,” said Beverly Bain of No Pride in Policing Coalition in response to the apology.
The data also showed Black people were more likely to have a police officer point a gun at them, regardless of whether they were perceived as armed, than white people in the same situation.
The march moved from Nathan Philips Square to University Avenue.
Organizers said the theme of the march was “reclaiming our radical histories and creating liveable futures without police and prisons.”
