monitoring, analysing and challenging anti-Muslim prejudice and hate

Lamp is an e-newsletter launched by HOPE not hate to monitor, analyse and challenge anti-Muslim prejudice and hate.

It will address the organised Islamophobia industry; changing societal attitudes; the impact of discriminatory policies; and the drivers behind the hate and mainstreaming of anti-Muslim rhetoric. It will also analyse what can be done to reduce Islamophobia and how to engage productively with people who might think differently than you.
