Alina Dyatlova's video: Riding The Bus While Black: TTC Racial Equity Impact Assessment

In 2019, the TTC commissioned the review of enforcement data from 2008 to 2018 after a string of incidents raised public concerns about racial profiling and anti-Black racism at the agency’s enforcement unit. The data analysis indicates that Black and Indigenous residents are “grossly overrepresented” in interactions with TTC officers. Moreover, they are significantly more likely than their white counterparts to be formally cautioned or charged while riding Toronto’s transit system. Let's talk about the TTC Racial Equity Impact Assessment Systemic Racism Explained (kid-friendly): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrHIQIO_bdQ THANK YOU FOR WATCHING - LET'S CONNECT: Instagram - @bigkatdaddy Twitter - @alinabalinaa THE JUSTICE CARD PLAYLIST:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLa-oMP3ATLx14PKWlyKS7i_qunGQrZ00t I am a Canadian Current Events YouTuber and I discuss stories that you may have missed because they weren’t striking enough to circulate via social media. I have created The Justice Card so we can also learn more about historic and ongoing impacts of colonization and how those colonial notions survive and thrive within our most “sacred” institutions. Disclaimer: As a white, able-bodied CIS woman, I acknowledge my privilege and I am using it to spread awareness about the on-going societal and institutionalized violence towards racialized groups, with a direct focus on Indigenous Peoples. I am actively working on challenging my internalized racism and biases by rejecting the narrative that was taught and absorbed by me as a result of white-washed education and prominent stereotypes in our media, social life, etc. This video is published in solidarity with the on-going activism of Indigenous Peoples across Turtle Island, specifically the work that they have been doing towards dismantling systems of oppression (de-colonization of institutions). I have created The Justice Card so we can learn more about historic and ongoing impacts of colonization and how those colonial notions survive and thrive within our most “sacred” institutions. Let’s challenge our white privilege and work through our white fragility together so we can effectively show up and do the work that is required of us. Systemic violence is rooted in white supremacy and has been flowing through our institutions for centuries, always wearing a new mask - a new face to fit the social climate of “today”. The work ahead of us is not easy, and will be difficult, awkward at times. As white folk, we benefit from these systems whether we realize it or not, and it is our job to dismantle it - piece by piece; we must acknowledge that the actions and inactions of our ancestors further solidified racial biases, discrimination and oppression.
