This move by the City of 6ix is yet another example of the City's anti-black racism. Unacceptable! Give Afrofest the permit for Saturday and Sunday.

Afrocentrism is an expression of African. Keep Afrofest.

Afrofest is a safe, family-oriented multicultural event, that has been steadily growing for decades. Council can do better than this.

The anti blackness of the councils decisions are evident.

Accommodations are allotted for all other celebrations some lasting over a week. What is the problem here?

This is completely unacceptable Afrofest is a positive influence on the city culture and community of Toronto and should not be undermined by bureaucracy of city council.

Afrofest has always been a family friendly event that brings people of all cultures together. We usually go both days and it has always been a lot of fun. There's no reason to have it reduced to one day!

You need folks to do more than just sign the petition. People need to be prepared to be present at City Hall and to (depute) speak about this issue. What about the councillor from that ward, how is this person being engaged as an ally?
