Dear John, 

More than 13,000 Canadians united to call on the federal government to stop the pro-Hamas Hizb ut-Tahrir from spreading its dangerous agenda in our country. 

I'm writing to say, thank you. With your help, our community and allies have made our voices heard – and we've made an impact.

Here's an update:

• Canada's Public Safety Minister David McGuinty and Associate Minister of Public Safety Rachel Bendayan have condemned Hizb ut-Tahrir, called for the organizers to cancel the conference, and confirmed that national security authorities are engaged.
  
  
• Ontario's Solicitor General, Minister Michael Kerzner, has condemned Hizb ut-Tahrir and underscored the importance of action from law enforcement.
  
  
• Today, Hizb ut-Tahrir announced that it is cancelling the conference, which was originally scheduled for January 18, 2025.

This is important progress in keeping Canadians safe. We are relieved that this conference isn't happening, but we also know that the fight against extremism cannot stop.

We will continue to urge the Government of Canada to ban Hizb ut-Tahrir as an illegal terrorist organization, as has been done in the UK and Germany.

We will also continue to call on you – our incredible community and allies – at critical moments to deliver our message, loudly and clearly. Please consider sharing this email with your friends and family and encourage them to sign up for CIJA's updates and action alerts.

We will keep you informed of the latest developments and ways we can each make our voice heard, together.

Sincerely,

Michelle Stock
Vice President, Ontario
