On August 30 at 5:30 PM PT via Zoom, NewGround will convene a panel of experts who will engage with one another in a NewGround-style discussion about Islamophobia in our current context. 

Both Jews and Muslims in Los Angeles have experienced identity-based violence and harassment in troubling ways in the last several months, and we fear this will get worse. This event will explore Islamophobia in our current context with leading experts, including Najeeba Syeed (Executive Director, Interfaith at Augsburg Univeristy) and Dalia Mogahed (Director of Research, Institute for Social Policy & Understanding). The panel will be moderated by NewGround board member Edina Lekovic.

This will be a tender and intersectional conversation that we hope will deepen our understanding of the challenges we face around Islamophobia and how the harm is often compounded when it is dismissed or minimized.

Don't miss this opportunity to learn from this candid and honest conversation.
