Happy Pride Everyone,

For those in the Toronto area, there will be an anti-corporate pride Night March taking place in memory of fellow activist Brian De Matos who was active in numerous groups and organizations in the 2SLGBTQ+ communities.  For Queer Ontario, Brian held the positions of Secretary, then Vice Chairperson until he passed on.  The march will push for supervised consumption sites and safe drug supplies at Pride festivities and throughout the year, Brian's last activist initiative.

We encourage all to attend.  Please share far and wide.

Thanks,

Nick

Night March 2023
Wednesday, June 21st @ 8:00pm
Barbara Hall Park

We march to honour the memory of our friend, community member, and comrade Brian De Matos, and in support of necessary supervised consumption spaces in and around Pride this year, and moving forward.

The Night March will gather for a rally at Barbara Hall Park at 8:00 pm. We march at 9:00 pm.

Use the hashtag #NightMarch23 for any updates throughout the night.

Our 2SLGBTQQI+ community in the GTA has experienced high rates of overdoses from tainted drug supplies and a lack of safer services such as supervised consumption sites and safe supply. While Pride Toronto does have a sober space, we are amplifying Brian’s request that the festival commit to funding and opening supervised consumption sites near the festival environment, and actively engaging with people who use drugs as peer workers to ensure that any services are delivered by and for the drug-using community.
