November marks Islamophobia Awareness Month, and we're continuing to work with partners to build a stronger more inclusive community and tackle anti-Muslim prejudice.

If you, or someone you know, has been a victim of anti-Muslim prejudice, or any hate crime, please report it.

We went to a great event today with @WestYorksPolice at Elland Road Police HQ. Loads of info about staying and feeling safe from all the police presenters.

Some of the easy read they had is already on our website, and we will be adding links to more soon.

5 weeks today MPs vote on whether to progress with a bill that would legalise assisted suicide in England & Wales

Many people think this is a good idea. Some of us don't

To learn more about why me & many other disabled people oppose, please watch @BBC:
