Thousands walk to protest Islamophobia

A speeding vehicle used as a lethal weapon left four members of a London Muslim family dead and the nine-year-old son in the hospital with serious injuries.

A memorial at the family's mosque attracted more than ten thousand Londoners rallying to show support for the local Muslim community. A walk Friday night attracted thousands stretching more than a kilometre down the route of the walk. Many of the walkers wore covid-19 masks as they walked. 

One goal of the night was to raise money to fight Islamophobia in London and to give financial aid to the boy left injured. At this time, the donations are already nearing the million dollar mark.
