You might think this isn’t a speech and language therapy matter. It is - our clients and therapists are impacted by the emotional images seen on social media every day. From the stories of friends and families suffering and from feeling helpless miles away. #FreePalaestine

How can you help?

Why racism, Islamophobia, and xenophobia are SLT issues‼️

[British Islamic Medical Association @BritishIMA]

Thanks for acknowledging racism and that Muslims have been targeted, but you’ve forgotten to mention Islamophobia. Can you please amend @thecsp @IshmaelBeckford?

See our tweet if it's not clear why #CallingItOut explicitly matters, thanks!

The nature of community work asks us to constantly re-orientate. With need, risk, and urgency being so high and individual capacity being so low we must continue to build coalitions of care that do not rely on individual reactions, but fluid community responses that are adaptive.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

When politicians demonise migrants, the far right listen.

When they say refugees should be “sent back to where they came from”, the far right listen.

When they complain about asylum seekers staying in hotels, the far right listen.

Let’s promote a message of unity instead.

One that tackles the issues facing us all: the housing crisis, the collapse of our NHS and the disaster of privatisation.

One that gives hope to all communities that a fairer society is possible.

Stand up to racism. Defend refugees. Inspire belief in a better world. That is how you defeat the far right once and for all.

[Meriem Amer 🇵🇸 @amer_meriem]

Why do organisations explicitly avoid calling out Islamophobia? Language is important, and avoiding the term is part of the problem. Media rhetoric consistently paints Muslims as the "bad guys". This daily narrative impacts Muslims and contributes to the issues we see today.

[Meriem Amer 🇵🇸 @amer_meriem]

@SLTeaTime @RCSLT Good to see but would be even better if they call it what it is - Islamophobia/anti-muslim hate. @theRCOT would be interested to know why this was left out?
