The No Pride in Coalition (NPPC) is a queer and trans, Black, racialized, Indigiqueer and two spirited coalition, formed in 2018 to support Black Lives Matter – Toronto demands specifically that which called for an end to Institutional Police participation in the Pride Toronto festivities. NPPC is focused on defunding and abolishing the police. We initiated the Pride Day 2020 Defund and Abolish All Police rally and teach-ins with close to 3,000 people in attendance held at Nathan Philips Square, and the 600 person rally for defunding and abolishing the Toronto police held outside Toronto Police HQ on July 16, 2020. NPPC continues to hold its yearly Abolition Pride. 2023 which was titled “No More Shit! Anti-Abolitionists and Anti-Fascist Pride” had approximately 10,000 people march with us on the streets.
