Muslim Link has written and published stories aimed at addressing anti-Black racism in Muslim communities over the last eight years. The following recommendations are informed by this work, our experience receiving media requests for Muslim speakers, our regular reading of coverage of Muslim communities by mainstream and Muslim media, and our observations publishing thousands of Muslim community events from across Canada over several years.
Moroccan Canadian Khadija El Hilali is currently working with a small team of fellow students to address racism on the campuses of two of Ottawa's largest universities.
