Many in various Black, Indigenous, Muslim, Jewish, Asian, LGBTQ & other communities are afraid to walk. So we’re going to do something across 🇨🇦 for the next few months with our partners at @NextdoorCanada. Join us. Let’s lift each other up…
Many Muslims in Metro Vancouver are sharing a newfound fear of walking outside their home and in the streets after a family was struck and killed in London, Ont., on Sunday. Our @Zahra_Premji, a Muslim herself, tells us of the questions circulating in the community.

Exciting news! @NextdoorCanada has been named to @BayStBull's incredible list of 50 Canadian game-changing companies. It's a recognition of our mission, and another indication of how much it has resonated with Canadians. Thank you neighbours! baystbull.com/the-power-50-c…

This is why we will walk with others. The Jewish community or any other community in 🇨🇦 that faces hate.

The horrific event that happened in Ancaster Meadowlands (reported yesterday) demonstrated that, yes, the @CompanionChamp initiative remains important. No one should be afraid to go out for a walk. 🙏🏼 @sulemaan
Some just tweet a lot of opinions. Sulemaan Ahmed tweets a moderate amount, but gets all kinds of amazing things DONE! 💗 ✅
Walking buddy service sparked by @sulemaan’s desire to support minority groups across 🇨🇦, reports @Zahra_Premji for @CBCNews

We knew this. We dreaded it. I'm surprised it took this long.
Muslim women will be targets of gendered Islamophobia.
Staying home, choosing to (un)cover to remain safe. That's where we are.
This isn't specific to #HamOnt it will happen again and again.

Many people have been scared to go for a walk following the deaths of 4 members of the Afzaal family last month. Especially those who are visibly Muslim. Now, there's a new walking buddy app. More about @CompanionChamp w/ @mglenn at 8:10. #LdnOnt

It's painful to get reinforcement on why a service to protect ppl is needed. These incidents are horrific. Sign up to help if you can.
This is why we are offering to help others walk in conjunction with our partners at @NextdoorCanada. No one should ever be afraid to walk in 🇨🇦 regardless of race, religion, sex, colour, creed or sexual orientation.
