Asalamu alaikum / Peace be upon you
Tomorrow, we expect the election to be formally called.
This is a critical election for Canadians, including Canadian Muslims.
I don’t need to explain why.
At every masjid I’ve been to this Ramadan, folks have been asking how they can help.
Here’s what we will need from you today:
1. Volunteer. This is going to be a short election cycle, and we will need our community to come out, engage candidates to stand for the right thing, and get out and vote in conjunction with partners like The Canadian Muslim Vote. We are going to need your help for the next month. Sign up today – even an hour of your week is enormously helpful right now.
2. Donate. NCCM will be launching our Election 2025 HQ just after Eid, where our campaign organizers will be working every single day across Canada to get out the vote, engage candidates of all parties, conduct regular polling, set up riding by riding townhalls, and get our community organizations engaged. All of that will cost resourcing – and we are still $50,000 short of our goal to properly resource our 2025 Election Fund. Please donate to help us get out there this election.
3. Dua. Make dua during these last 10 nights that our community is united, and that this is the last election in Canada where our community and our place in Canada is an election issue.
Don’t hesitate. This is a communal obligation.
Wasalam,
Omar Khamissa
