Toronto friends!

IMPORTANT ASK

There is going to be a motion put forward at City Council this Monday July 23rd that would make it an infraction for anti-abortion protestors to use their graphic signs in public spaces.

#reproductiverights
Please consider calling or emailing clerk@toronto.ca and/or your city councillor today to show support for this motion.

The motion is called:
MM44.35 Use of the Public Right of Way for Display of Graphic Images - by Councillor @SarahEDoucette, seconded by Councillor @Janet_Davis
More information on this here: app.toronto.ca/tmmis/viewAgen…
I've written to clerk + my councillor to share my disdain for protestors whose sole focus is to judge & intimidate the public & those who are exercising their hard fought human right to reproductive choice & access; a choice that does not affect any of the protestors in any way
As we’ve seen lately, rights, access and culture can roll back easily. We must be vigilant and pro-active.

Don't take your rights for granted.

You & I have inherited a right people have died for, it is our responsibility to ensure that level of sacrifice is never needed again.
Many thanks to @LeighNaturkach for raising this and articulating it so well. <3

So much of the conversation in Toronto & elsewhere in 🇨🇦 when it comes to "smart cities" has done an unsatisfactory job of engaging the public abt data - in all its forms. Residents need not be technicians in order to weigh in on what kind of city they want to live in. [THREAD]
e.g. Residents have been rightfully questioning the utter lack of transparency abt data when it comes to Sidewalk Toronto. We have seen no meaningful public education efforts around:

-Who controls it?
-Who can use it?
-Under what terms?
-How do we leverage data as a public good?
There are concerns re privacy & surveillance. But also valuable are these considerations:

-How do we manage aggregate data?
-How are we going to manage our public data as an economic asset?
-How are we to assert our digital rights as the residents of a smart city?
