Student protesters rallied from King’s College Circle to Yonge-Dundas Square
On October 5, the Palestinian Youth Movement — a transnational, grassroots organization of young Palestinians — held an International Day of Action rally in Toronto. Nearly 50 rallies were organized in major cities across Canada and the US as part of the movement.
Among the 14 student groups across Ontario that participated in the rally were UofT Occupy for Palestine (O4P), Tkarón:to Students in Solidarity with Palestine (TSSP), the University of Toronto Mississauga Students’ Union, and the Scarborough Campus Students’ Union.
The protesters met at King’s College Circle and marched to Yonge-Dundas Square, stopping at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU).
Students rallied in protest of the ongoing violence in Gaza over the past year. As of writing, more than 42,000 Palestinians in Gaza and over 1,200 people in Israel have been killed since October 7. Since 2023, Israel’s attacks on Lebanon have also killed over 2,000 people.
Approximately 150 protesters gathered at King’s College Circle around 1:00 pm to begin the rally. The protesters included students from York University and George Brown College. (more...)
