As the nation comes together to grieve yet another horrific murder of innocent civilians, we call upon all residents of Canada to move beyond platitudes and performative measures to take real action against Islamophobia and all forms of racism and hate. The systems and structures of white supremacy in this country set the framework for intolerance and injustice and are perpetuated through complacency, through how we vote, and through whose voices are heard. These changes must happen in government, they must happen in communities, and they must happen in every boardroom across this country. Today we reach out to our member organizations, many of whom have staff of the Muslim faith, to express our grief and share our heartfelt love and support.
