Your councillors just voted on something HUGE
Okay but real talk— City Hall dropped some important stuff while most of us were probably still dreaming about roti from Charlie's. This week, we gotta talk about the Confronting Anti-Black Racism Advisory Committee's vote from March 23rd. This is big, fam.
They tackled "Addressing Evictions through Disaggregated Race-Based Data in Social Housing." The motion *passed* 7-3, which is good, but Ward 5 Councillor Amber Morley voted *No*. Real talk, this kind of data collection is crucial for understanding how evictions disproportionately affect Black residents. When we don't have the numbers, how can we fix the problem? It means City Hall can actually see what’s going on beyond just general stats.
### What’s Next for Residents
This vote means the City is moving forward to collect more specific information about who is being evicted from social housing. This isn't just a bunch of numbers; it's about real people, real families, and whether they can stay in their homes. Keeping an eye on how this data is used, and what policies follow, is essential. Will it lead to concrete changes? We gotta push for that.
Real talk, this is Toronto — stay up.
