(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 04/19/12 -- Members of the newly formed coalition Never Again! will rally at Toronto Police Headquarters wearing blue hospital gowns as the Toronto Police Services Board hears deputations from community members concerned about police violence.

Members of Never Again! are calling for the following reforms:
The action will begin at 12.30 PM, one hour before the TPSB meeting begins.
