UBC Administrators Must Protect the Safety of Students
Action Alert: Send a letter telling UBC to investigate fake Hamas stickers spread to target Muslims and Palestinians on campus
A recent incident involving offensive stickers being distributed at the University of British Columbia shows that more needs to be done to protect students from rising Islamophobic and anti-Palestinian hate on campus.
The phrase “I (heart) Hamas” was placed on the sticker alongside the UBC Social Justice Centre’s (SJC) name and logo. The message was clearly meant to target the Centre and students speaking out against violations of ...
Canada Must Condemn The Horrifying Statements From Israel’s Leaders
Action Alert: Send a letter to Prime Minister Trudeau To Condemn the Comments of War Crimes and Ethnic Cleansing Israel Made
Leaders at the top of the Government of Israel have been calling for the most egregious forms of violence to be visited against the people of Gaza.
This includes calls for ethnic cleansing. It also includes words that severely dehumanize the humanity of Palestinians. This language fuels the flames of hateful violence.
And they have put those words into action with estimates of 12,000+ killed in Gaza and hundreds more in the occupied West ...
Tell Premier Ford To Take Action on MPP Goldie Ghamari Spreading Dangerous Islamophobia
It is concerning that MPP Goldie Ghamari of Carleton has made several statements on social media that appears to recycle a number of Islamophobic tropes.
These include stoking suspicion against Muslims who say the phrase “Allahu akbar;” pushing the conspiracy theory that organizations like the UN are controlled by “Islamofascists;” and retweeting insults against those who women who wear the hijab.
Moreover, she also retweeted Daniel Bordman—an individual identified by our courts to have spread libel against Muslims.

Calling for a Ceasefire is an Important Step
ACTION ALERT: Send a letter to Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow in appreciation for the call of a Ceasefire
Toronto is home to many diverse people including many Palestinians, Christian and Muslim. As the civilian death toll rises to more than 10,000 Palestinians, over 4,000 of which have been children, we need Canada to be a voice for peace and justice.
Far too many families in Toronto have lost loved ones in Gaza. There are far too many Canadians with roots in Toronto who are still stuck in Gaza.
Mayor Chow has called for a ceasefire, and now all city councillors ...
It’s Time to Raise Your Voice
ACTION ALERT: Send a letter to Prime Minster Trudeau and Minister Joly condemning the Israeli strike on the Jabalia Refugee Camp
This Tuesday, Israeli forces claimed responsibility for killing many civilians by striking the Jabalia refugee camp in Gaza.
This is a war crime. Attempting to justify blowing up a refugee camp to get at a military target is truly disturbing – and unjustifiable. Numerous international observers have condemned this use of force.
Canada must condemn this violation of international law, along with rising attacks by settlers on ...

Thousands of Palestinian children have been killed. Far too many innocents, Israeli and Palestinian, have lost their lives or been injured.
We continue to urge Canada to take a strong role in convening our partners internationally in calling for peace and to a ceasefire.
Send this letter that goes to ALL ...
Canada Needs To Call for an Immediate Ceasefire Today!
Last week, a bipartisan group of 33 MPs came together to urgently call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. As the civilian death toll rises to 5000 Palestinians, one third of which has been children, we need Canada to be a voice for peace and justice.
The Israeli state appears to be committed to this unrelenting siege and unlawful blockade of the Gaza strip. There is no end in sight. Their threats of violence are only escalating. If this violence continues at this rate, many fear the ethnic cleansing or genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.
Enough is enough.
