Stand Strong: Practical Steps to Challenge Islamophobia
A Growing Concern: Rise in Anti-Muslim Hate / Islamophobia
According to the Government, the most recent hate crime statistics show that anti-Muslim hate crimes rose by 19% in the year ending March 2025, while 44% of all religious hate crimes targeted Muslims. It’s a clear sign that Islamophobia is on the rise and needs to be tackled head-on.
Join Us: Turning Talk into Action
This November, we’re hosting a four-part webinar series all about taking real, practical steps to challenge Islamophobia in everyday life. Each session will dive into real issues from the workplace to online spaces, from local communities to national conversations, with leading speakers and thinkers sharing practical ideas you can use right away.
Come be part of the conversation, learn something new, and go away with useful, faith-inspired tips to make a difference. Let’s move from awareness to action together be part of the Islamophobia Awareness Month.
