Community Leaders Solidarity Event
In response to the recent far-right riots, various faith and community leaders, along with politicians, gathered in unity at Almanaar’s garden on Friday, 9th August 2024. They stood together to condemn the riots and attacks against Muslims, mosques, immigrants, and their places of residence.
The participants included London’s Deputy Mayor for Communities and Justice, Dr. Debbie Weekes-Bernard; the Archdeacon of Middlesex, The Ven. Richard Frank; Rabbi Jonathan Wittenberg; Rev. Sally Thomas; Sheikh Dr. Mohammed Ahdash; Joe Power MP; Cllr Sarah Addenbrooke; and Cllr Marwan Elnaghi, among others.
MCHC’s CEO, Br. Abdurahman Sayed, opened the event by welcoming all participants, thanking those who contributed to organising the event, and highlighting how the unity of the community has been demonstrated in the face of challenges and calamities.
The event was concluded with remarks from Cllr Kasim Ali, who emphasised the significance of the gathering and the commitment of those who sacrificed their Friday afternoon to stand in solidarity and unity against those who seek to divide us.
