We the undersigned call on the Government of Ontario, the City of Toronto, and the Toronto Police Service to take action regarding the annual Al-Quds Day rally in Toronto, an event rooted in the ideology of Iran’s Islamic regime and closely associated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which Canada has designated as a terrorist entity.

Al-Quds Day was created by Iran’s regime as part of its global campaign against Israel and the West, and its rallies have repeatedly promoted the messaging and symbolism of a government that represses its own citizens, sponsors militant proxy groups, and spreads extremist ideology abroad.

Canada’s public spaces should not be used to amplify the agenda of foreign regimes or movements linked to terrorism and Islamist extremism.

We urge provincial and municipal leaders to take this issue seriously and ensure that Toronto’s streets are not used to promote the influence, propaganda, or ideology of the IRGC or the Iranian regime.
