Ribbons

Last year, immediately after the attack, the purple and green ribbons became the commemorative symbol of June 6th. The colors were chosen as green is the same color used for other Islamophobic events, like the Quebec Mosque shooting and purple was Youmnah Afzaal’s favorite color. After the attacks, thousands of ribbons were made by had to distribute at the vigil. This year, YCCI is ordering the ribbons and distributing them prior to the event to raise awareness of the attacks and for fellow Londoners to wear in solidarity.
