The Office of Equity and Inclusion at Montgomery Community College is hosting this special program on Understanding & Countering Anti-Muslim Discrimination for employees only.

The program will be facilitated by Rev. Cassandra Lawrence, Director of Strategic Communications for the Shoulder to Shoulder Campaign and Erum Ikramullah, Senior Research Project Manager at the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding.

Join this conversation online or in-person, moderated by Shoulder to Shoulder Campaign Executive Director Nina Fernando. American Jews and Muslims come together to discuss the moral responsibility of (inter)faith leaders in addressing the ongoing conflict in Israel-Palestine. The conversation will center on the deep trauma experienced by many, both historically and in the present, in light of the dehumanizing Anti-Muslim and Anti-Semitic rhetoric in the U.S.

This event is co-hosted by American Islamic College, InterReligious Institute at Chicago Theological Seminary, Shoulder to Shoulder Campaign, and Center of Christian-Muslim Engagement for Peace and Justice.

The Shoulder to Shoulder Campaign is honored to host a panel discussion at the 60th Annual Islamic Society of North America Convention.

This interactive training will teach you Right To Be’s 5Ds of bystander intervention methodology. We’ll start by talking about the types of disrespect that Muslims and those who are perceived to be Muslim are facing right now — from microaggressions to violence — using a tool we call the “spectrum of disrespect.” You’ll learn what to look for and the positive impact that bystander intervention has on individuals and communities. We’ll talk through five strategies for intervention: distract, delegate, document, delay, and direct, and how to prioritize your safety while intervening.
