Muhammad is the director of advocacy for Hikma Public Affairs Council, a local public affairs group that focuses on combating Islamophobia. Muslims across the country have a decision to make. We are still watching a genocide unfold in Gaza. For months, we have been emailing, calling, and meeting with our MPs so that they can do something to stop it.

Organizations like NCCM, CMPAC, and Hikma are working hard to provide Muslims with the resources they need to make an informed decision.0:00 - Introduction1:55 - Why is this election so important?9:20 - London West19:25 - London Center (previously London North)26:26 - London Fanshawe35:18 - Elgin St. Thomas London South36:45 - London North37:22 - WE NEED YOUR HELP
