In the work that we do with you to counter anti-Muslim bigotry, we often find questions/concerns posed around five major issues:
• What is Sharia?
• Islam and Women’s Rights
• Islam and Peace
• Islam and Other Religions
• The Islamophobia Industry

For the past year, we have been working to create five animated videos in a three-minute format to address these questions. We are calling it the “Facts Over Fear Campaign.”

You are invited to our official Facts Over Fear Campaign Launch Party!

Flights & Rights – Back to School and School Safety

Date: 
Tuesday, August 18, 2020 - 5:00pm to 6:30pm
Event Location: 
Online
All students have a right to education, and we are working for more effective approaches to build positive school environments and help students.  As we examine the role of police in our daily lives, it’s time we also reevaluate the need for police in schools. Black, Indigenous, Pacific Islander, and Latinx students are disproportionately disciplined, suspended, and expelled from school. Students with disabilities are disproportionately excluded. Students who have been suspended are three times more likely to be in contact with the juvenile justice system within a year.
