Tell Doug Ford: We oppose the keffiyeh ban. End it now.

Doug Ford’s Conservatives had two opportunities last week to overturn the racist ban on the keffiyeh* at Queen’s Park.

Shamefully, they chose to support it.

On Friday, Leader of the Opposition Marit Stiles issued Ford an ultimatum: Overturn the ban by May 6, when the Legislature resumes, or we’ll defy it.

Tell Ford, the Conservatives, and your MPP: End the ban now!

If Ford won’t end it, we’ll defy it!

* The keffiyeh is a traditional headdress, usually made of cotton, and fashioned from a square cloth. It is a long-standing and deeply significant cultural symbol for Palestinians, widely understood in the Arab world and internationally as an expression of Palestinian identity.
