COVID has disproportionately harmed Black & racialized communities. It's primarily Black & racialized women working the front lines of long-term care who are overworked, underpaid, and understaffed in homes that have been in active outbreaks all year. https://twitter.com/TorontoStar/status/1349147462582366208
We also know that Black & racialized communities disproportionately experience over-policing, violence in police interactions, and harassment.

So what could *possibly* wrong when we have a Premier telling police to crack down on lockdown enforcement, without guidelines?
Ford abandoned these workers without paid sick days. He is doing nothing to help keep a roof over their heads (don't forget the Ottawa PSW working in LTC & living in a shelter)

His only solution to this pandemic seems to be broad enforcement with no guidelines or accountability?
We need:
🍊 Paid sick days
🍊 Eviction ban
🍊 Rent subsidies
🍊 A real plan for the crisis in long-term care
