Live from Dufferin Grove - This is what democracy looks like!

Saturday, Sept. 10 - crowd gathers in Dufferin Grove

Saturday, Sept. 10 - hundreds of people are gathering in a city park for the purpose of collectively drafting a 'Toronto Peoples' Declaration' against the disastrous cutbacks to essential services we will be facing in the near future.

This is a unique experiment in mass democracy and an opportunity for activists and concerned citizens to meet, to talk, and to plan. 

'Breakout' discussion group - Toronto East Downtown

The City's pathetic attempt to alienate us from park 
staff and the local community - didn't happen!  :)

Planned 'breakout' sessions will decide on the key points impacting their specific issues and communities, which will then be compiled into the Declaration. The key points will then be voted on one by one for the final draft.

There is to be a solid week of actions over the span between the next Executive Committee meeting (Sept. 19) and the full City Council's final vote on the Ford Regime's disastrous slash-and-burn budget proposals.

Stay tuned - lots more to come!
