Yesterday my team and I organized a consultation about the Our London Family Act. I want to thank all of the community members who took time to join and share the stories about the rising Islamophobia you have been seeing.

I look forward to the Ontario NDP's work updating this Bill and working with communities across Ontario to fight Islamophobia. #ONpoli #OurLondonFamily #OurLondonFamilyAct #TorCen

Thank you Minister Michael Ford for taking this critical step in keeping our mosques safe.

While more work needs to be done, this is a critical step along the way.

We shouldn’t have to be here.

Our work is not done until someday, in the future, we won’t need to look over our shoulders or have security at the doors.

Amira Elghawaby met with about 200 members of London’s Muslim community,

The weekend before Ramadan, March 18 & 19 2023.

“The call for the creation of a special office to combat Islamophobia came from Muslim communities across Canada, but most strongly from London Muslim communities,”

“I knew that I had to come to London.” — Amira Elghawaby

The federal Security Infrastructure Program is supposed to help communities facing hate and violence to beef up security.

But it's too slow.

Read our new op-ed this morning,

Co-written with leaders from the CCIQ mosque in Quebec City & the London Muslim Mosque about the need to reform the SIP program.

Opinion | With Islamophobia on the rise, Muslim communities are calling for safety. Canada already has one program, it just has to fix it

Muslim communities feel less safe since the 2017 Quebec mosque attack. It’s time to reform the Security Infrastructure Program.
