Check out my article in Mehdi Hasan’s Zeteo on how Gaza is factoring in for some voters in the Canadian election

Voters who want to punish the Liberal Party over its Gaza policy but don't want the Conservatives to win feel stuck with no good options in Monday's election.

There’s only one day left for my Ramadan Fundraiser and I’m not even halfway to my goal 🥲
Nisa Foundation helps women escaping domestic violence, homelessness, refugee women, and those arriving from Gaza.
This Eid, help give a woman and her children the gift of safety and dignity.
Donate whatever you can, no matter how small. Every dollar helps ❤️

This Ramadan, protect her life, voice and future!

What do you think the best gift is for a mom-to-be? 🤔
Is there a viral diaper bag that's all the rage?
A great post-partum spa package?
Maybe a gift certificate for a cleaning lady?

Or maybe the best gift... is a safe place to live.

Did you know that 1 in 6 women experience domestic violence for the first time DURING PREGNANCY? In the last 6 months, Nisa Foundation supported 9 pregnant women, including two who came directly from the hospital after giving birth.

Nisa provides shelter and support services to women and their children experiencing domestic abuse, homelessness, and even refugee women including those arriving from Gaza. They have nine homes across Canada, with 275 women and children on their waiting list.

I'm aiming to raise $15,000 this Ramadan to support the journeys of two women and their children. You can help give a mother the gift of safety by donating here:

Have you ever tried to make a small change that you just can’t seem to follow through on?

Maybe it’s cutting back on sugar.

Or not doomscrolling on your phone every night before bed.
You know too well how hard it is to make small changes stick, even when you know it will improve your life.

So, imagine trying to make a big change.

Like leaving an abusive relationship.

Statistics show that it takes the average woman SEVEN attempts before she actually leaves.

This Ramadan, I want to make sure that when she’s finally ready to go for good, there’s somewhere for her to go.

That’s why I've partnered with Nisa Foundation, which provides shelter and support services for Muslim women and their families.

They have nine safe homes across Canada, but right now there are 275 women and children on a waitlist for shelter.

Help me reach my Ramadan goal of raising $15,000 by donating here:

“Jan. 29 is the National Day of Action against Islamophobia.
It’s also my birthday.
But these last eight years it’s been hard to celebrate on the anniversary of the country’s worst attacks against Muslims in what was supposed to be their place of solace… “

“Jan. 29 is the National Day of Action against Islamophobia.
It’s also my birthday.
But these last eight years it’s been hard to celebrate on the anniversary of the country’s worst attacks against Muslims in what was supposed to be their place of solace… “

My op-Ed in The Hill Times, available free to read for non-subscribers, just for today:

Canada remains one of the deadliest places for Muslims dealing with Islamophobic hate amongst G7 countries. To change that, we cannot just simply say that hate has no place in Canada—we have to make it true.
