It's not enough to hire Black, Indigenous and Racialized people. Institutions were made through the lens of whiteness. You must support, amplify and *actively* work to dismantle systems of oppression that exist in your organization. 1/

It was hard saying byes today! There may or may not have been tears involved - especially knowing that we won’t see them again 🥺I am so proud of their innovation + resiliency, their kind + respectful approach to each other, and the safe space they had created @EVS_YRDSB @YRDSB

[Wali Shah @LifeAsWali]

I also want to show some love to @EVS_YRDSB for bringing me in as a performer (alongside many other talented artists) and premiering my spoken word poem with the students and staff in their virtual school. ❤️ Continue to #ShineOn

Reminder: Ontario's Premier went to speak at the London, Ontario vigil against Islamophobia and then immediately voted down a bill against Islamophobia.

[Kayla-Marie Williams @kaylamarieTO]

This is Elias. He’s 8 years old. I interviewed him at the Richmond Hill vigil for the Afzaal family.

Listen to his words.

While we mourn the death of 4 people murdered because of anti-Muslim hate, I hope our future is as bright, compassionate and loving as Elias. #ldnont

[Derick Deonarain @KDDeon]

Thank you @Ginella_M
Continue to speak truth to power.

[Farrah Khan @farrahsafiakhan]

For decades Islamophobia has been used by governments to rationalize wars, stoke hatred i.e. Barbaric Cultural Practices Act, niqab bans and rationalize surveillance and arrests of Muslim communities. The terrorist act in London didn't come from nowhere, it was created here.

[Ahmed Ali @DrAhmednurAli]

A young boy lost his entire family because one Islamophobe decided to murder his entire family with a car, while they went out for a family walk.

If this targeted attack isn't treated as a terrorist attack, we have no hope in Canada.

[Sandy Hudson @sandela]

This place has allowed Islamophobia to grow unfettered. Authorities continue to protect white supremacists organizing. This is the outcome. This is the result of doing nothing while hate and violence brews all around us.

[Dr. Amit Arya @AmitAryaMD]

Welcome to Canada, where the remains of 215 Indigenous children are found at a former Kamloops residential school, but leaders struggle to accept that systemic racism is real and tell us that the use of the word “genocide” is controversial.

[celia @its_ms_croft]

Today a 4th grader asked why we always learn about past wars and not the ones going on right now.

[Zohrin Mawji @ZohrinM]

Replace conflict with:

✅ Settler colonialism
✅ Imperialism
✅ Erasure
✅ Ethnic cleansing
✅ Displacement of people

Language, as I always say, is everything.

Almighty. Our final moments of this blessed month have been marred by what’s going on in #Palestine and #Gaza. We pray for their safety. May peace and calm be restored. May You alleviate their suffering and all those going through similar scenarios the world over. Aameen .

Danger of a single narrative. Thank you @ZohrinM
