Hamilton Anti-Racism Resource Centre

Today I announced my resignation from the #HPSB, almost three years into my term as the Citizen Appointee. I called out the persistent mistreatment I experienced in the role and a profound failure of governance. Link to my full letter here: drive.google.com/file/d/1fU1HU2…

We are disturbed and shocked by the targeting and damaging of a school bus in Hamilton, ON that serviced an Islamic school in the area.  It is alleged that someone may have targeted the school bus in a parking lot full of school buses, vandalized it with Islamophobic graffiti, and damaged the bus including shredding bus seats. We are in touch with the school, community members, and all authorities, including the Hamilton Police, regarding the situation.  The targeting of a school bus that services Muslim children during a time of rising Islamophobic violence is alarming to the highest degree. While we cannot confirm the motivation behind this attack at this time, and we will wait until the police have a final determination, it is extremely concerning. We call on all leaders to denounce what happened, and to work with community members to stem this tide of Islamophobia.  We will have more to say as the situation evolves.

Dr. Juliet Daniel Barbadian-Canadian, THE distinguished biologist and professor at @McMasterU has passed away. Dr. Daniel was a pioneering force in cancer research. Her scientific work advanced our understanding of the disease, but her impact extended far beyond the laboratory. #HamOnt @McMasterScience pageshartt.site/juliet-daniel/

“This is how contemporary hate organizes itself, through circulation, recruitment and normalization.“

Coverage of the danger of white supremacists rallying across #Niagara "“They’re pretty forward about what they are up to,” @ajesusjoseph said. “What’s worrying is how little is being done in response to it.”" stcatharinesstandard.ca/news/niagara-r…

“They have a clear political agenda, which is anti-immigrant and white supremacy,” Waziruddin said. “It’s meant to intimidate and meant also to attract support.” niagarathisweek.com/news/niagara-r…

We share the collective responsibility to call out Islamophobia, antisemitism, and all forms of hate which threaten human rights, equality & dignity for all. Canadians of all backgrounds must remain steadfast in standing up for our shared humanity, here and around the world.
