good morning to all but the City who is spending millions on private security on unhoused people (who will have the ability to arrest) instead of real solutions.
sign & share this petition: signatures = press awareness = public pressure = City doesn’t like to look bad = change!
The city needs to focus on longterm solutions instead of spending millions on this. Sign this petition. It'll take you 30 seconds. tinyurl.com/NoPrivateSecurit…
More signatures will help get media attention to put pressure on the City. Please sign and share!

If transit agencies rely on Twitter & don't use tools like posters at bus stops, apps, phone lines "they may end up speaking to mostly white or high-income people, and missing many of the riders they’re trying to reach." U.S. data, but relevant in #topoli xitter.cf/transitapp/status/1483…
Transit Twitter is not real life.
👉 Low-income riders are 8x less likely to get transit info from Twitter than rich riders
👉 IRL + Zoom meetings? Black and Latino riders are 2 to 4x less likely to attend
How do agencies ensure all riders are informed? blog.transitapp.com/case-stu…

SSHA & @JohnTory refuse to ask the federal gov for help. Thousands are stuck in congregate shelters with ongoing outbreaks, the recovery hotel is full, hundreds stuck outside in frigid temperatures. Gord Tanner on CBC - “No we don’t need help, currently.” youtu.be/BZ4cUj_guU0

“For example, the Ontario Safe Streets Act is meant to keep citizens safe from “aggressive solicitation,” but in practice, enforcement of this act targets those who are visibly poor.” The word “safety” is so often weaponized against people who are poor.

The SSA is still harming the homeless everyday. If more people are aware of this situation, we can make a change. Knowing is half of the battle!

I’m also covering the ceremony fees for a new graduate to join @LawSocietyLSO . The important question is why are the fees so high in the first place? – at Toronto, Ontario

"People used to live here. When we came to shoot in March. It was an extremely windy day. There was ice on the ground and the damp coldness just cut through you like a knife." -- Yvonne Sung

My friend Richel (left) was volunteering at @FairChange_CS. She mentioned to me they helped homeless people resolve violation tickets. "Wait, homeless people get ticketed for being on a sidewalk?" I. WAS. ANGRY. I needed to do something about it! That was the summer of 2018.
