Black Lives Matter: How to Serve as an Ally for Our Black Brothers and Sisters
------------------------------------------------------------
Saturday, Jun 6 at 2 PM
Register Now ([link removed])

America is grappling with two viruses: the Coronavirus and, what has become a chronic disease in our nation, racism. Black lives, especially, have been violently extinguished or dehumanized at the hands of systematic racism. We have repeatedly said enough is enough only to witness the cycle of police brutality and anti-black murders continue uninterrupted year after year, decade after decade.

None of us is free until all of us are free.

We face a severe crisis of human security in America, where our government grounds its security framework in the protection of our national borders instead of securing its own people at the most fundamental levels. If we truly had human security in America, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery would have been alive today. Instead, racism and anti-blackness is ingrained in the very institutions that are meant to protect lives. Black people live in constant fear of racial violence and grapple with anti-black prejudice, barriers, and degradation on a daily basis. For far too long, non-black communities of color have been complicit in this wrongdoing.

We MUST do better. How can we work toward a more just and equitable future for our black brothers and sisters?

Join us in listening to Margari Aziza Hill, Co-Founder and Executive Director of the Muslim Anti-Racism Collaborative (MuslimARC), open up about her experiences as a Black American Muslim Woman and share her expertise on constructive anti-racism work.

Through her life experiences as a Black American Muslim woman, research and writing, and nearly a decade teaching in all levels of the education system, Margari is an expert on Islam, education, race, and gender and specializes in anti-bias anti-racism training and community outreach.
