Disability Justice Network of Ontario (DJNO)
Disability Justice Network of Ontario (DJNO), founded in 2018, fights various forms of institutionalization — including long-term care, and fighting ableism and racism within the education system — which fuel the school-to-prison nexus. With the clear overlap between all of these systems, the prison project launched in 2022 to connect and collaborate with racialized, disabled, and incarcerated people, amplifying their voices and providing support and advocacy.
Since beginning, we have completed many legal navigation toolkits around home care, the school-to-prison nexus, and navigating the criminal justice system in Ontario. If we are to build a world where disabled people are free to be, a world without policing and prisons, we must work together to develop the skills to do so.

Queers 4 Palestine Toronto is an anti-zionist coalition of queer and trans people based in Tkaronto who work in solidarity with Palestinian liberation movements. Formed in 2023 following the accelerated genocide in Gaza, we aim to enact the liberatory demand by Queers in Palestine: [a permanent and actualized] ceasefire, an end to the siege of Gaza, the liberation of Palestine from the river to the sea, and an end to Canadian financial, military, diplomatic and political support to so-called Israel.
As queer and trans people, we aim to counter pinkwashing and settler colonialism in Palestine and in so-called Canada, and in our communities, by refusing the instrumentalization of our queerness to justify settler colonialism, imperialism, white supremacy, and genocide. Accordingly, we are committed to land back and the right of return.

It seeks to resource grassroots civil society formations at the frontlines of relief efforts in those parts of Sudan that have been hardest hit by militarized state violence.

SSC has launched and sustained the Sudan Solidarity Fund, which provides direct financial assistance to civilian-led groups such as emergency response rooms, resistance committees, mutual aid groups and independent labour and farmers unions leading relief efforts.

Toronto Black Farmers and Growers Collective (TBFGC)
The Toronto Black Farmers and Growers Collective (TBFGC) are a group of people who came together out of food inequality and oppression. In 2013, they decided to make changes to the food system, cost, quality, access, and cultural relevance. Members are farmers, growers, small food business owners, and food-insecure people standing against food injustices, food insecurity, food poverty, and their supporters.
They became advocates because of their lived food experience and worked to develop a model with the community that gave them an empowered experience, created safe space, and improved health and well-being. Interrogating food sovereignty as it pertains to access to arable fertile land for communal food activities is still a part of food planning for TBFGC. Food planning is done with neighborhood leaders and residents from across the GTA in 34 neighbourhoods. They have connected dots to create and pilot neighbourhood food policy with residents to share food insecurity impacts on Afro- and other people. They know through collective food planning that a variety of measures are required to improve access to quality, affordable, healthy, local, and culturally relevant “clean” food.
TBFGC’s mission and mandate is to expand into a food hub that reflects the diversity of the community, creating opportunities to serve and provide adequate safe space for food programs and services to meet people where they are, with adaptation to a changed climate. Its work provides the opportunity for “clean”, farm-fresh, local produce to be shared in diverse ways that are culturally appropriate, coupled with seasonal tradition and additions.
Toronto Community Justice Fund
The purpose of the Toronto Community Justice Fund is to raise and distribute resources for community members living in the Greater Toronto Area who are facing legal and other financial repercussions stemming from the criminalization of their Palestinian liberation and solidarity work.
The TCJF operates from a place of love, care, mutual assistance and resource collectivization to look out for our community. The aim of the TCJF is to work against the isolation and shame that the state wields in order to silence people who stand up for what is right.
In this current moment, we are seeing an intensification of state oppression in order to silence people acting in solidarity with Palestinian liberation. This fund aims to mitigate the impacts of this state oppression and provide community support to our people. Together, we work to reduce financial and structural barriers for people who face criminalization as a result of their Palestinian liberation & solidarity work through mutual aid and support.
World BEYOND War Canada
World BEYOND War Canada works hard to educate, organize, and mobilize to demilitarize Canada and stand in solidarity with everyone in the world harmed by this country and its allies’ violence— all while working with World BEYOND War members around the world to do the same globally.
Through the efforts of our Canadian staff, chapters, allies, affiliates, and coalitions (including both the Arms Embargo Campaign and the War Bank Campaign), we’ve held forums and film festivals, protested from coast to coast to coast, passed local resolutions, blocked weapons shipments, factories, and arms fairs with our bodies, divested funds from war profiteering, and shaped national debates.
