Community Unity Against Hate: Join the Rally for Immigrants
Urban Alliance Stands Against Division
The Urban Alliance on Race Relations (UARR) demonstrates resolute support for community organizers, unions, educators, and families who will unite for the vital "No to Hate, Yes to Immigrants" counter-rally. This movement takes place at Christie Pits Park, fostering love and solidarity among diverse communities.
A Historical Context of Resistance
Reflecting on history, the legacy of the 1933 Christie Pits Riot remains a poignant reminder of the resilience demonstrated by Jewish and Italian immigrants against Nazi aggression. Today, as white supremacist factions attempt to reintroduce division into this same space, the UARR firmly denounces these acts of hostility against marginalized groups.
Voices of Community Leaders
"Toronto thrives as a melting pot created by immigrants and racialized communities. Hate has no room in our society—be it in our parks, schools, or democracy," stated Nigel Barriffe, President of the Urban Alliance on Race Relations. He emphasized the strength that lies in unity across different races, faiths, and backgrounds, asserting that together, communities are empowered and safe.
Encouragement for Collective Action
The UARR calls upon:
- Government entities to ensure protection in public spaces free from hate and discrimination.
- All community members to join in numbers on the day of the counter-rally, promoting love, equity, and unity.
- Media organizations to characterize these occurrences as an essential stand against hate, rather than a neutralized "both sides" narrative.
A Celebration of Diversity and Hope
The upcoming counter-rally on September 13 will be a vibrant celebration featuring music, choirs, poetry, engaging children's activities, and delicious free ice cream. It’s a family-oriented event designed to bolster togetherness and nurture community spirit, showcasing the beauty of diversity.
Strength in Solidarity
"Our communities—including Black, Indigenous, Jewish, Muslim, immigrant, and working-class groups—are intertwined in their struggles," added Barriffe. "The historical forces of white supremacy that targeted Jewish communities in the past continue to affect migrants today. Our commitment to 'never again' resonates deeply in our mission today."
