When: Sat, October 29, 12pm – 3pm
Where: Nathan Phillips Square to Occupy Toronto (St. James park)
Join us at the square, & come down to
Occupy Toronto if you can!
Why Disability Pride?
As a recognition of recent injuries and deaths of people with disabilities in interaction with Toronto Police. This march is not against police services, but recognizes the need for increased disability awareness training. No one should be dying in police interactions in Toronto!
Under the administration of Mayor Rob Ford, the annual International Day of Persons with Disabilities Celebrations, which recognizes the achievements of people with disabilities in Toronto, has been cancelled without community input.
It is also to recognize that when cuts happen, people with disabilities are often the first to be hit. Under the Rob Ford administration, Wheeltrans services were almost on the chopping block, and social housing still is.
Not only are people with disabilities part of the 99%, they are typically part of the lowest 1% of the 99% – even in Canada
Torontonians with Disabilities have a voice, and we will not be sold out or discriminated against!
Sit Down, Fight Back
