We are also excited to introduce the Toronto recipient of our AVI Allyship Award – Pakistani-Canadian journalist, author, public speaker, media consultant, anti-racism activist, and interfaith discussion leader, Raheel Raza.
Raheel is among the most prominent Muslim supporters of Israel. She has visited Israel 13 times in the last 16 years. In her National Post Article I’m a Muslim and I love Israel. Here’s why published in February 2023, Raza details what she has learned about hate and antisemitism, its prevalence in Arab Muslim countries, her hope for peace, and the struggles of supporting Israel at this time.
Raheel has publications in major newspapers in Canada and appearances on International media outlets like CNN, BBC, Fox News and CBC. She is considered an activist for human rights, a prolific author, supporter of women’s issues and an International public speaker. She also sits on the board of directors for Muslims Facing Tomorrow and The Council of Muslims against Antisemitism (CMAA).
She has published numerous books, including Their Jihad...Not My Jihad!: A Muslim Canadian Woman Speaks Out which offers Raza’s insight, opinions and solutions to restoring dignity and respect to Muslims living in the West.
Raheel has been a human rights activist, and has advocated gender equality, particularly for Muslim women. In 2005, she became the first woman to lead mixed-gender Muslim prayers in Canada.

All funds raised via United We Stand will support our critical work at Allied Voices for Israel (AVI) to empower, educate, and unite students – Jewish and non-Jewish alike – to combat antisemitism and hatred on high school, college, and university campuses across Canada.
This year alone, AVI has inspired thousands of Canadians and students on campuses such as Concordia, University of Toronto, University of Calgary, and University of British Columbia to serve as advocates for Am Yisrael. We have engaged allies in several communities who are speaking up against anti-Jewish hatred on campus – please click here and here to meet a few of these incredible student leaders.
Our students play a crucial role as Ambassadors for Israel and human rights at their respective schools, fostering dialogue and understanding. Because we are exposing them to speakers and survivors of the horrific Oct. 7 attacks, they are also better equipped to tell Israel's story amidst rising antisemitism on campus and around the world.
The contribution of these brave and courageous students is invaluable and greatly appreciated and your support is crucial in ensuring these voices are loud and their impact is felt! Please join us for an evening of engagement and support for this important initiative.
Sponsorship opportunities for United We Stand are still available. Please see below for our sponsorship deck.
Attendees will also have the chance to hear from our incredible students and staff about their efforts advocating for Am Yisrael on high school, college, and university campuses across Canada.
See you in early December!
