On February 7, 2024, following our letter, Toronto Star added the following sentence: They use the bridge for its high visibility and sidewalks, the protesters say.
This small change helps give a more accurate and complete picture of the 401 overpass Pro-Palestine protests and the organizers’ intentions.
