Ahead of #Ramadan2019, this weekend 50+ @CitizensUK Muslim civil society leaders & supporters spent 24 hrs together to build r'ships, identify pressures (Time, 'Hate', Leadership, Family, Wellbeing & Youth) + redoubled commitment to broad-based organising for the common good.
Spent the afternoon speaking and engaging with leaders from across the country @CitizensUK@CUKPublicLife Ramadan Summit #CUKRamadan19 - loads of good things happening across the country but need of the hour is to organise better to tackle the many challenges and pressures
In #CUKRamadan19 event at Birmingham’s @NASUWT Centre Brit Muslim civic leaders discussing how to take forward the recommendations of @CUKPublicLife’s 2017 report, The Missing Muslims. United activism for the common good, based on #TheMiddleWayLife, is key to fighting extremism
Some people doubt the scale of Islamophobia in the media, claim it is limited to certain views of Katie Hopkins, Rod Liddle and Melanie Phillips, and believe the far-right attitudes come from extreme rather than mainstream sources. This thread aims to challenge such assumptions.
It is great to see the @LibDems have taken practical steps to tackle the scourge of Islamophobia by adopting the @APPGBritMuslims definition of Islamophobia.
In the wake of #ChristChurch we need to now see action and not just words! @EdwardJDavey
Willesden Minyan/Shir Hayim leaders meet with Al Khoei Foundation in Queens Park leaders after Jumaah to send love and solidarity to NZ.Every time the white right seeks to divide us,we will strengthen our commitment to one another.

Islamophobia isn’t just anti-Muslim hatred. It’s about everyday discrimination that takes place - targeting Muslimness or perceived Muslimness. It is rooted in racism and is a type of racism. It can be deliberate or unconscious bias. #IslamophobiaDefined https://t.co/gAq6YARvaS
Islamophobia is rooted in racism and is a type of racism that targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness. Here, @Anna_Soubry and I explain why a step change in our approach to tackling Islamophobia is urgently needed: https://t.co/VNROModtBw
