Immigration Partnership: London and Project Coordinator

immigration partnership: Huda Hussein, who works as a project coordinator for the London and Middlesex Local Immigration Partnership, told CBC News Wednesday that the free lawn signs are a push back against recent anti-Islam rallies in the city, according to CBC. We want to have that conversation so that people think about this is a country of immigration and we are all striving to create a more welcoming community in the region, she said. The signs were handed out Wednesday at downtown London's Covent Garden Market.
