One was killed simply taking the train home.

The other was a felon who OD’d on fentanyl.

Guess whose death sparked nationwide fires?

This afternoon, I was given the opportunity to speak to the congregation before this week's Friday Khutba at the Hamilton Downtown Mosque. Islam is a big part of who I am, and I'm really proud to be part of this community. ❤️ @Downtownmosque

SPEAK OUT AGAINST RACISM
Dear Hamiltonian, there was an Islamophobic and anti-Arab attack on the Paramount restaurant. A hateful, racist woman targeted the restaurant during rush hour (7:30 pm), shouting hate messages about Muslims and Arabs, calling them "violent, rapists, and child-killers" 1/

We know #Hamont councillor JP Danko is contemptuous of the majority of people but he’s been especially committed to spreading disinformation to dehumanize and scapegoat people who use drugs (PWUD) for months. This is strategic. 1/14

@marthahradowy @WRHospital I'm so sorry for your loss.

The HDLC has endorsed the McMaster Apartheid Divest demands as the basic tenets fell well within years of existing policies adopted by our Council.

We share solidarity with these activists and echo their calls for divestment and ceasefire!

Solidarity comrades!

Where is your outrage for the 19yo international student from Nigeria, Afolabi Stephen Opaso, who was shot and killed by Winnipeg police all because he was experiencing a mental health crisis? Disturbing audio reveals they shot him THREE times as soon as they arrived at the scene.

Racism is when a fully armed cop feels threatened by a 19yo unarmed Black child who’s experiencing a mental health crisis. Why on earth did they shoot him? #JusticeForZigi
