Pride Toronto must return to its political roots, advocates say as sponsors leave.

Google , Nissan , Home Depot and Clorox pulled their support after pulling their support.

The organization has faced calls to cut ties with corporations that allegedly profit from Israel ’s offensive in Gaza .

A former executive director of Pride Toronto says this is the right moment for a reset.

Faisal Ibrahim , a spokesperson for the Coalition Against Pinkwashing , said it would be a “bare minimum” for Pride Toronto to cut ties with sponsors who financially benefit from Israel ’s war efforts in Gaza .

Amarshi said it was “incredibly short-sighted” to bring corporate sponsors into what she said has been a vital institution in advocating for queer rights.
