Description

February 10 Toronto More than 1,000 people gathered at the auditorium of Jarvis Collegiate (495 Jarvis Street) to plan further community action in response to the bath raids of February 5. The group agreed that a larger demonstration was called for, and formed subcommittees to coordinate fundraising and counselling for the raid found-ins. Although most of the people in the crowd were gay, vigorous statements of solidarity were delivered by straight speakers, including Fran Endicott, a Black Toronto school board trustee, who spoke on the need for cooperation with all minorities, and Menno Vorster, president of the Toronto Teachers' Federation.
