Statement on Islamophobia Awareness Month

To mark Islamophobia Awareness Month, Islington Council, Islington Faiths Forum and the Hate Crime Forum stand together to reiterate that any form of hate crime will not be tolerated.

With recent events, both locally and nationally, we have sadly seen an increase in Islamophobia which we will not accept. Muslim community members make enormous contributions to life in Islington from setting up food banks, feeding our homeless, supporting our most vulnerable residents to supporting flu vaccinations and much more.

So let us celebrate these contributions and show our solidarity at this difficult time.

Please stand with us against hate crime by signing the Islington Hate Crime Pledge and by encouraging others to take a stand against hate crime too.
