Black Lives Matter Toronto and other members of the black community say they’re cautiously optimistic about the city’s new draft anti-black racism action plan. That action plan has 21 recommendations for the city including the creation of a black caucus at City Hall, hiring more black people for city jobs and overhauling the discipline process for the Toronto Police Service.
