How London's Muslims Should Vote in the 2025 Federal Election! | Hikma PAC Recommendations

Muhammad is the director of advocacy for Hikma Public Affairs Council, a local public affairs group that focuses on combating Islamophobia. Muslims across the country have a decision to make. We are still watching a genocide unfold in Gaza. For months, we have been emailing, calling, and meeting with our MPs so that they can do something to stop it. Some of them have stepped up to the plate, but many have not. Now is the time to hold them accountable for their actions. Coast to coast, we have the numbers and the resources to do it. Organizations like NCCM, CMPAC, and Hikma are working hard to provide Muslims with the resources they need to make an informed decision.0:00 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgjczmJFmzs] - Introduction1:55 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgjczmJFmzs&t=115s] - Why is this election so important?9:20 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgjczmJFmzs&t=560s] - London West19:25 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgjczmJFmzs&t=1165s] - London Center (previously London North)26:26 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgjczmJFmzs&t=1586s] - London Fanshawe35:18 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgjczmJFmzs&t=2118s] - Elgin St. Thomas London South36:45 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgjczmJFmzs&t=2205s] - London North37:22 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgjczmJFmzs&t=2242s] - WE NEED YOUR HELP
