Salaam, greetings of peace to you, Friend,
Last night’s virtual Ramadan celebration, The National Iftar [[link removed]] , was such a joy to help produce — personally, I really appreciated hearing from community leaders across the country, including hospital chaplain Khurram Ahmed, who challenged the way we think and talk about COVID-19. And the two performances by Aisha Fukushima [[link removed]] gave me life!
If you missed it, don’t worry! It’s online and available for you to watch on-demand at www.TheNationalIftar.org [[link removed]] .
I’ve got another exciting announcement...
Muslim Advocates is teaming up with our nation’s cultural center, The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts [[link removed]] , and the world-renowned Shangri La Museum of Islamic Art, Culture & Design [[link removed]] to launch the American Muslim Futures project.
