I Remember January 29th

ThumbnailOption2.pngOn Jan. 29, 2017, a lone gunman entered a mosque in Quebec City and opened fire on dozens of Muslim-Canadian worshipers.  By the time the shooting had ended, six had been tragically killed, and 19 more injured.  

Join us in calling on the Canadian government to designate January 29 as a National Day of Remembrance and Action on Islamophobia.

It’s easy to sign & only takes 10 seconds! Let our government know that you oppose Islamophobia and all forms of religious discrimination.
