The rally was planned by several human rights organizations and called for the Quebec government to recognize systemic racism, which the province has steadfastly refused to do
They also want the province to apply a Quebec Superior Court judgment in October 2022 that would have prohibited the random interception of vehicles by police without valid reason, while also invalidating the provincial Highway Safety Code provision that allows it.
Toguen says the fight against racism concerns everyone, not just individuals from racialized and Indigenous communities. “You don’t have to be Black, Arab, or the First Nations to fight against racism. Racism should concern us all,” Toguen said. For rally participant Mbaï-Hadji Mbaïrewaye, it was important to participate to call for changes on how police operate.
“The practice of police racial profiling undermines our humanity,” Mbaïrewaye said. “To the humanity of Black, racialized, Indigenous Peoples … it is important to march to reaffirm our dignity, our humanity.”
