With the long-time challenges faced by the queer community being amplified by increasingly hostile rhetoric at home and globally, and the shocks of lost funding as many long-time Pride sponsors dial back or withdraw corporate donations, the Toronto run club community has taken a stand, serving as a driving force in the fundraising efforts long at the heart of Toronto’s Pride & Remembrance Run.
This week on The Shakeout Podcast we sit down with Siphelele Danisa and Jocelyn Riet, two local organizers in Toronto's queer running community. They share from their unique experience with organizations like Frontrunners and Queer Run Club, and how the movement that is still very much in its infancy has embraced a central role in bringing awareness, a sense of belonging, and crucial financial support to Toronto’s Pride movement.
