We're marching for public transit on July 5 as part of a global movement for Jobs, Justice and the Climate

This July, Toronto will host a Pan American Climate Summit and an Economic Summit, where corporate leaders from across the Americas will gather to advance an economic austerity agenda that is increasing inequality and killing

the planet.

On the eve of those summits, let’s make sure they hear our demands: a justice-based transition to a new energy economy, in which corporate polluters pay and ordinary people benefit.

An unprecedented coalition of Indigenous frontline communities, the labour movement, social justice organizations, environmental groups, faith communities, scientists, students, and thousands of others will take to the streets of downtown Toronto on Sunday, July 5th to March for Jobs, Justice and the Climate.

This is a game-changing moment for the climate movement in Canada. With another round of international climate negotiations just around the corner, it is crucial for us to tell our leaders that we are ready for real climate action -- and this means funding efficient, accessible, and truly affordable public transit! By marching together with others calling for solutions to climate change, we will demonstrate that we are ready to shift from the volatile, boom-and-bust cycles of a fossil fuel economy to a stable, clean economy that promotes equity, respects Indigenous sovereignty and recognizes the limitations of our climate.

Here are the details:

WHAT: The March for Jobs, Justice & the Climate

WHEN: Sunday, July 5th, 1PM

WHERE: Assembly at Queen's Park, Toronto (look for TTCriders banner in the South-West corner)

📸 Rally to Open the Crosstown

On February 19, 2025, TTCriders held the Rally to Open the Crosstown at Yonge and Eglinton to call for answers about the Eglinton Crosstown and Finch West LRT projects. Promised opening dates for the LRTs have come and gone, while transit costs have skyrocketed under Metrolinx. Transit riders are looking for answers and credible opening dates for the Eglinton Crosstown and Finch West LRTs.

TTCriders asked every party to invest in running TTC service and new LRTs with a 50% operating subsidy for local transit systems, and to give the TTC back control over running Toronto transit, to keep costs down and increase accountability.
