Two more nooses have gone up with Anti-Black graffiti at an @EllisDon worksite at the @MGHToronto. Enough is enough. Join us this Friday, October 9 at 7:30 AM to #ShutDownHate and #StoptheNoosesTO.
This follows up on the violent racist acts that have been happening all over Toronto construction worksites this summer. 5 other nooses were found at @EllisDon, @TheDanielsCorp, and @crosslinx worksites this summer.
To #StoptheNoosesTO, we started a petition (link in bio) to hold @EllisDon, @cityoftoronto, @ONgov accountable. Where is the action? The accountability? Why has nothing been done? https://www.change.org/p/end-racist-violence-in-commercial-construction-and-building-development?utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=custom_url&recruited_by_id=18325890-dfec-11ea-a96c-bd588d9c246f
The emergence of these two nooses last week was a stark reminder of what happens when nobody in power is held accountable. These racist violent actions must be held accountable. #StoptheNoosesTO
We are asking Toronto to #ShutdownHate with us this Friday at 7:30 am at @MGHToronto and send a message: anti-Black racism has no place in the workplace and our society. We demand action and accountability. Not words, not statements.
Please bring your posters and art like what we did back in June 2020 to tell our community and workers that we will not tolerate hate. #StoptheNoosesTO.

We’ve already done for the east end of Toronto. Thanks to @PaulaFletcherTO, @beyrima, @Peter_Tabuns, @beynate, @juliedabrusin, @BradMBradford for sending a letter to @MGHToronto and @EllisDon. But we need the rest of Toronto to also speak up as this affects all of us.
