At this Race & Faith event, we will engage in a dialogue about how Islamophobia impacts brown bodies, both Muslim and non-Muslim, in different yet similar ways. We will discuss the often violent and divisive consequences of this racialized bigotry, and ways of building solidarity among brown folks of different faith communities. Please join us for this important discussion! Refreshments will be provided. https://www.facebook.com/events/169032707081688/?notif_t=events_add_page_cohost¬if_id=1519851435298819
