The Danforth East Community Association operates on a set of principles that includes fostering a community that values diversity and inclusion.
We are very alarmed and disturbed by the anti-diversity posters that appeared in our neighbourhood today.
We are grateful for our elected representatives who have denounced these posters.
We don’t have the answers. Like many of you, we are struggling to find a way to respond to what feels like escalating hate or violence in our community. It won’t be solved today or tomorrow or this week. DECA was founded to make our community better and we will continue to take positive action.
We are a group of volunteers who, along with many, many other volunteers, spend a lot of time trying to improve our neighbourhood and bring people together. We’re your neighbours and we’re trying.
If you want to join us, volunteer with us, tell us how we can support your idea or just to say hi, please reach out to us.
We are here for you.
Sincerely,
DECA Board of Directors
