Dear Supporter, American Muslims for Palestine continues its #LetsTalkBLM monthly webinar series to address the never-ending plague of systemic anti-Black racism in our country. We invite you to join in this month’s conversation featuring the legendary Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, former NBA player, and Dave Zirin of the Nation Magazine, who writes about politics in professional sports. Join us on Thursday, September 10 at 7 PM Eastern on AMP's Facebook LIVE! Last month, building on the path-breaking racial justice commitment of WNBA players, NBA players, along with other professional athletes, went on strike in support of Black Lives Matter. This unprecedented collective action is an inspiring example of athletes withholding their labor to protest for racial justice. Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf and Dave Zirin will share their unique perspectives on what this moment means and how we can utilize it to advance racial justice. Let us educate ourselves about systemic racism and ways to resist and dismantle it while continuing to build strong links of solidarity between Palestinian-American and Black communities. Help us spread the word about our webinar by sharing our social media posts on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram using the hashtag #LetsTalkBLM. To watch the earlier episodes, click here.
