Abstract
Hudson discusses Black and Indigenous solidarity using Black Lives Matter’s 2016 occupation of Toronto Police Services Headquarters as a point of analysis for future possibilities. The creation of this space was anti-colonial and was supported through solidarity built between Black and Indigenous community members. This chapter investigates the solidarity that was built between Black and Indigenous Torontonians through resistance action in relation to its historical location and contemporary considerations.
