About the Muslim Empowerment Series:

In response to far-right violence, IMI is launching our Muslim Empowerment Series, which was shaped by what our community told us they need: Grief, Resistance and Resilience. Together, we’ll explore healing and collective empowerment through community events, storytelling and nature. Follow us/subscribe to stay up to date.

Thank you to our members who attended the Community Debrief last year to guide this programme, and a thank you to Global Dialogue for funding this crucial work.
