Show Up Toronto - September 23, 2025
Hi friends and neighbours,
Shana Tova and happy new year to all those celebrating. The United Jewish People's Order is inviting the community to mark the second day of Rosh Hashanah by sitting in solidarity with Palestinian neighbours in the Gazan Canadian Family League fighting for family reunification tomorrow (Wednesday), which is very cool.
Tens of thousands of people in Canada across dozens of communities coast-to-coast mobilized this past weekend for Draw The Line, including thousands here in Toronto alongside over 200 community groups. The organizers have put together a photo album roundup, which is charmingly hosted on Flickr.
It can be easy to be cynical about mass actions like these, because we've watched the oligarchs in power ignore the will of the people time and time again. But I also think it's very important to be reminded that we are not alone, that no matter how much politicians and pundits try to gaslight us there are many who clearly see the interconnected global crises we are experiencing. The time horizon of social change is so much longer than what most of us naturally have patience for, and we need to be able to sustain our energy. Getting into the street with a few thousand people who are just as pissed off as you are and yelling for a couple hours is not a bad way to remember that there are more of us than there are of them, and the first step to building power is to show up together.
Jenny
Take heart: Canada finally recognized the state of Palestine, which is definitely a welcome step that is the culmination of decades of sustained activism work, but which also truthfully does not mean a whole lot at this point in history when we're still sending arms to Israel. Last Friday MP Jenny Kwan introduced a private member's bill to close loopholes in Canada’s arms export laws that allow Canadian-made weapons parts to be shipped through the US to embargoed zones. Use Arms Embargo Now's toolkit to call your MP to support this bill!
Take action: The City has been trying to displace the residents of the Dufferin Grove Encampment, and the community has been showing up to defend residents all last week. Since 2021, the City's encampment strategy has aimed at "reducing tents" rather than "housing people", and the City would rather spend money sending cops to destroy the meagre possessions of unhoused residents rather than provide adequate rent-geared-to-income housing. Toronto's shelter system is overcrowded, unsafe, and inaccessible for many people. While encampments may seem like a last resort, they are often communities of mutual aid and solidarity where unhoused residents can find some support and stability. If you're in the neighbourhood, drop by the park and support the residents who have very clear-eyed demands for what would actually help them. If not, you can still contact your city councilor (here's a sample email with talking points) to protest this.
