Dear BLMTO, Thank you for having the courage to say, in a way that can`t be ignored, that floats and murals don`t undo years of police brutality and have no business being at Pride especially when they haven`t been prefaced with substantive action and with accountability. Thank you for demanding ASL interpreters and for thinking[…]

hey BLM folks, I wasn’t at pride but heard about your action & saw the video on your facebook page – thanks for reminding the complacent among us that we still have work to do, and of the true roots of pride celebrations. I hope this can propel things forward in a better direction &[…]

Hey Black Lives Matter, I just wanted to send a little love note to say how much I respect the work you’ve done this year, with a special nod towards the Pride Parade protest. What brilliant bravery. I’d like to offer my support and time if there is a way you think I could be[…]

Dear Black Lives Matter Toronto, My name is Isaac Tamblyn. I just wanted to send a note saying that I have been really shocked and saddened to see the vitriol and name calling that has been directed at your group recently.  I read that you have been receiving hate mail; I think this is totally[…]

As a trans (agender), gay, feminist, white person, I would like to say thank you. I am shocked by all of the hate and backlash that you got because of your peaceful protest (btw, the rainbow smoke was badass). I recognize my privilege and know that I do not and will never understand what your[…]
