Blueprint for All says it “works with young people, communities and organizations to create an inclusive society in which everyone, regardless of race, ethnicity or background, is provided with tangible opportunities to thrive.”
Tell MAMA supports victims of anti-Muslim hate in England, and is a public service that also measures and monitors anti-Muslim incidents. Measuring Anti-Muslim Attacks (MAMA) has a portal where people can address their concerns and record any incidents experienced. Doing so allows the organization to map locations of attacks, whether physical or verbal, and refers victims to support services.
