Building Action Against Islamophobia - 'Raise Your Gaze' series

At Inclusive Mosque Initiative, London, United Kingdom
On 3rd March 2018 noon - 4:30 p.m.

Description

With Islamophobia on the rise, it is important for us to reflect on how we got here so that we can challenge it effectively.

Individual acts of intimidation and violence do not happen in a vacuum, and certainly did not begin with Brexit, or even 9/11. Anti-Muslim politics and policies have deep historical routes that are still evident today, and they target us all, especially the more vulnerable members of our communities: young, poor, refugee and migrant Muslims.

Join us as we unpack:
- The ways in which Islamophobia manifests at the borders, in the education system, and the media
- How this has come about and what it looks like right now
- How to strategise together on ways to resist.

11.45 - doors open
12.00 - talk & Q&A on the historic roots and contemporary iterations of Islamophobia*
1.30 - lunch
2.30 - workshops on Islamophobia at the borders, in education, and in the media*
3.30 - break
3.45 - closing panel
4.30 - end

* speakers & facilitators tbc

GETTING THERE
By train
- Farringdon Station is 0.3 miles from the Free Word Centre.
- It is served by the Thameslink railway line, which runs directly to London Bridge, Elephant and Castle, St Pancras and Kentish Town, as well as routes to Brighton, Sutton, St Albans, Luton and much of North and South London.
- The Metropolitan, Circle, and Hammersmith & City tube lines also run from this station.
- The station has step-free access but we recommend you contact them ahead of time for ramps on and off the trains if required.

By bus
- Buses that stop near Free Word include the 63 on Farringdon Road, the 19, 38 and 341 on Rosebery Avenue and the 55 and 243 on Clerkenwell Road.

By car
- There is a NCP car park next to the Centre at 1 Bowling Green Lane. There are 7 disabled bays available, and we recommend you reserve a bay ahead of time: https://www.ncp.co.uk/find-a-car-park/car-parks/london-farringdon/
- Free Word Centre does not have any designated parking of its own; however there is a single yellow line on the curb outside the front entrance and so it is possible to pick up and drop off passengers directly outside.
