What a pleasure to work on this event during my brief visit to London this past week. Heading back to 🇨🇦 inspired by these activists and their tireless work to make pluralism possible.

We partnered with @CanadianUK to showcase inspiring examples of #pluralism in action from #GlobalPluralismAward laureates @AllOut & @ArtLordsNet in conversation with @KimGhattas. It was a terrific evening filled with hope, optimism and brave stories of pluralism in adversity.
