Anyone remember when the antivaxxers regularly protested RIGHT outside of hospitals, SPECIFICALLY to target the hospitals...
and the City didn't bother having a public consultation on "Proposed Demonstrations Bylaw to Protect Vulnerable Institutions"

Pepperidge Farms does.
That's because Pepperidge Farms was legal observing at the counter protests.
The photos below are from September 1, 2021 when they were vastly, and I do mean VASTLY, outnumbered by the counter.
We need to call this shit what it is: Anti-Palestinian racism.
Call it out no matter who is doing it, in this case: the City of Toronto.
The City of Toronto is trying to use bylaws to limit where protests can happen. Let's stop this from happening via their public consultation.

Fill it out. Share with your friends. Make them stop this from happening.
The city of #Toronto is considering a bylaw restricting our right to protest. This is a direct response to #Palestine protests, and implementing such law only serves to give the police more power.
If you live in Toronto or visit often please consider voicing your opinion:

Coverage by the CBC too. Four of our organizers delivered a letter to Stantec, reminding them of the engineering code of ethics. Stantec's engineers are making themselves responsible for the future traffic violence on Toronto's roads.
The action went very well! Hopefully I'll have some photos/video to share but in the meantime enjoy this incredible interview from one of the organizers
