We, the undersigned faculty, staff, and student club leaders of the University of Windsor
Faculty of Law, express our full support for the Black Lives Matter Toronto Movement,
and for those working to end anti-Black and other forms of racism across Canada. The
implementation of these demands is necessary to improve the lives of racialized and
indigenous peoples across Ontario, not just of Toronto.

To be the truly open, pluralistic society Canada holds itself to be requires dismantling
both express racism and the systemic, invisible processes of exclusion that continue to
be inflicted on racialized communities in Canada. Indigenous and racialized communities
are subject to over-policing practices, practices which research demonstrates are not
effective, and which have profound and damaging consequences for individual and
community dignity, and for the ability to achieve secure socio-economic status.

We therefore call upon the city of Toronto and the province of Ontario to implement
the Movements demands, listed below, and on all municipal police forces to grapple
with the important issues these demands provoke.

Immediately release of the name(s) of the officer(s) who killed Andrew Loku and
lay charges accordingly.
Immediately release to the public any video footage from the apartment
complex where Andrew Loku was murdered.
Adopt the African Canadian Legal Clinics demand for a coroners inquest into the
death of Andrew Loku.
Condemn the Toronto Polices excessive use of force and ongoing intimidation
tactics against Black Lives Matter Toronto protesters.
Overhaul of the provinces Special Investigations Unit, in consultation with
families of victims of Police violence, the Black community, and the community
at large.
Commit to the full elimination of carding, including: the deletion of all previously
recorded data, reframing of regulations to prohibitions, consistent
implementation policy amongst different police boards, and concrete disciplinary
measures for officers who continue to card.
Immediately release of the name(s) of the officer who killed Alex Wettlaufer, and
lay charges accordingly.
