A peaceful youth rally was underway downtown Toronto Saturday in what organizers are calling an attempt to raise awareness for issues plaguing the Black community and to find "solutions to racial inequality." "We're here to recognize that we need to start the repairing process from within the community and outside the community." "We hear the cries of our brothers and sisters across the border and worldwide," Malcolm told CBC Toronto. "There is a movement to make changes in systemic racism and systemic barriers that the Black community faces, we have been encountering this for a very, very long time," she told CBC Toronto. Spencer said she is working with businesses owned by members of the Black community in an effort to secure them more support and funding.
