Advocacy @ HBT: 2025 Starts with Advocacy Success! 

• Hizb Ut-Tahir Conference Cancelled 
• Global Antisemetism at 46% 
• CJPAC wants you to get involved 

Does grassroots advocacy make a difference? The answer, as we start 2025, is a resounding yes! As I’m sure you’ve seen, the controversial Hizb Ut-Tahrir Conference was cancelled due to a general outcry among the Canadian public. Thank you to everyone who signed the petitions, reached out to their government representatives, and helped raise the alarm so that an internationally designated terrorist organization couldn’t proudly meet on Canadian soil.  

Yet there is still a lot to do. Shocking numbers from the ADL reveal that, worldwide, almost half of adults  hold some level of antisemitic belief. This 46% is an all-time recorded global high. As Canadians, we have seen a record spike in antisemitism. What can be done?  

CJPAC believes that involvement in our next elections is a critical way to protect Canada from further following in this global trend. A full list of their non-partisan election resources can be found at this link. Canada goes to the polls in 2025! As a diverse community, supporting many beliefs and parties, we must be involved in the governance of our nation. Learn more here.  

Finally, as we pray for the safe rescue of our hostages, it is important to remind ourselves that their return does not necessarily signal a ‘return to normal.’ We must continue to work together to combat this frightening new reality.
