“As a special guest at a recent Municipal Socialist Alliance meeting, I was very impressed with their vision, energy and commitment, especially amongst younger people who are needed so desperately to keep a community-based advocacy group thriving. I applaud the group’s efforts and will continue to support them in any way that I can.”
— James Gordon, City Councillor, Guelph
“I'm very happy to endorse, in a personal capacity, Kiri Vadivelu's campaign for Mayor of Toronto. His socialist platform offers a challenge to the model of the neoliberal city, with its agenda of austerity, inequality, reckless upscale redevelopment and a swollen police budget. With 'progressive' opposition to this agenda reduced to hesitant efforts to soften the blow, it is good to see a platform that actually bases itself on the needs of working class people.”
— John Clarke, former organizer, Ontario Coalition Against Poverty & member of 230 Fightback
“While much of the labour leadership will throw their support behind status quo candidates in the upcoming elections, it is clear that business-as-usual municipal politics isn't working for working class people. Enough is enough! Vote for change! Vote Socialist! Vote for the Municipal Socialist Alliance!”
— Julius Arscott, Ontario Public Service Employees' Union / SEFPO Executive Board Member
“MSA is a coalition of socialists, labour unionists, community organizations and social justice activists united to fight for the interests of workers, tenants, women, LGBTQIA2S+ folks, racialized people, seniors and all who seek a city and world without exploitation and oppression. I am proud to show my support for a Labour City Hall, for a Workers’ Government at the municipal level.”
— Barry Weisleder, NDP Socialist Caucus / Federal Secretary of Socialist Action
“We support Kiri Vadivelu in his run to become Toronto's next Mayor. His vision and passion align with my family's value of supporting and standing for equality and equity amongst oppressed, marginalized, and racialized communities. His socialist platform will create opportunities for underserved communities.”
— Annette Bryan and Nekya Bryan, Members of Scarborough Tenants Union
