Belonging in Victoria: Muslim Voices for Change
Tuesday October 19, 7-9pm

Please register here and share this invite widely.

 You are invited on Tuesday Oct 19 from 7-9pm, on Zoom, to join Muslim women from the community who will explore themes of Islamophobia, belonging, racism and safety by sharing their local and global everyday experiences. Inspired by their calls to action from the National Summit on Islamophobia that took place in July 2021, the panel offers concrete recommendations for meaningful action on addressing ongoing faith-based hate, racism and colonialism on the traditional territories of the lək̓ʷəŋən peoples. This panel will be moderated by Asiyah Robinson.
