About the series:
We’ve come a long way in equipping, connecting & mobilizing faith and community leaders in their work to address the problem of anti-Muslim bigotry & discrimination in the United States. And yet, it’s 2020, and the need for this work has only intensified. We still have a long way to go.
Where are we going and how will we get there? In the midst of all that we are facing, how can we find faith, hope, vision, creativity, and motivation to live into deeper relationships today? How will we (re)imagine our future and make lasting change together?
To mark 10 years of work through the Shoulder to Shoulder Campaign, we will be holding a public conversation series featuring a number of inspiring faith leaders and changemakers who will help us look back on the last decade of engagement on this issue and (re)imagine what the next decade holds.
