Be Informed to Work in Solidarity Against Islamophobia

They will discuss how anti-Muslim bias intersects with anti-Palestinian racism - issues that have long persisted and have been exacerbated by many factors, including the recent crisis in Gaza. And they will also address how these forms of discrimination manifest in the United States, from hate crimes and dehumanizing laws to workplace and campus retaliation. Participants will learn how the legal community - lawyers, law schools, and beyond - can play a crucial role in supporting and enhancing equity and inclusion for Muslims and Arabs, both within the profession and in society at large.
