NCCM Recommendations: National Summit on Islamophobia
More Muslims have been killed in targeted hate-attacks in Canada than any other G-7 country in the past 5 years because of Islamophobia.
That fact sunk in outside the London Muslim Mosque on June 8 of this year, when thousands of Londoners gathered in the aftermath of the terror attack that took the lives of four members of the Canadian Muslim community in an unthinkable act of Islamophobic violence.

1,749 have signed. Let's get it to 2,000
The ongoing humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan is alarming.
Canada’s role in the Afghanistan crisis is indisputable. We owe it, after two decades of war and occupation, and to so many who lost loved ones and friends, to take action in the ongoing humanitarian crisis by expanding the numbers of refugees being brought to Canada.
