Women Leading Multifaith Engagement: A Sister Act Conversation with Shoulder to Shoulder

Three American women of faith, Hurunnessa Fariad, Dr. Sabrina Dent & Rabbi Susan Shankman who come together to discuss life, faith, and resilience in their podcast "Sister Act" will join the Shoulder to Shoulder campaign staff women in a conversation on how and why we engage in multifaith engagement work in the United States.

MultiFaith Solidarity: 20 Years Since 9/11

In conversation with Shoulder to Shoulder, Imam Latif will share stories and insights from his ongoing work “to carve out a much-needed space for young American Muslims to celebrate their unique identity and have their voices heard in the larger public sphere.” He’ll reflect on the layered impacts and repercussions of 9/11, how it changed America in many ways, and how 9/11 shifted how Americans who are Muslim (and those who are perceived to be) experience life in the U.S. (even for those who weren't born yet). Imam Latif will also highlight his experiences and perspectives on building multifaith solidarity, working alongside folks of different faith and cultural backgrounds in order to advance justice and inclusion here in the U.S. Together, we’ll explore what brings us hope, what connects us to one another across differences, and what motivates us to continue on in this work of building a society where all are treated with dignity.
