The Responsibility to Challenge the Legitimization of Islamophobia
Stand up for your right is a mantra. Standing up for the rights of others is not as innate, especially when biases play a role in the decision-making process. This is especially true with the new kid on the old block of prejudice, discrimination, and bigotry in the American landscape: our Muslim counterparts. Join this webinar to hear firsthand accounts of Islamophobia in action, how to identify anti-Muslim bias, and how to acquire the tools needed to stop the spread of hate.

Something Is in the Water

Straight from the headlines and likely a community near you - Americans appear to be struggling with their water supply across the nation, particularly in poor Black and Brown communities. If you’re in California or Arizona, you're facing droughts or routine water conservation efforts/controls. If you’re in Flint, Michigan or Jackson, Mississippi, you question whether you can even drink the wat...
Beyond the ADA: Access at the Forefront
Переглядів 36Рік тому
While the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 was a giant victory in the fight for disability rights, it is merely the floor for legal protections and does not always guarantee inclusion. So often, accessibility is perceived as an afterthought that is only considered once barriers that affect individuals with disabilities are identified. Although 1 in 4 Americans has a disability, many with...

    Of course Muslims should not be discriminated against, but what about political Islam? Look at Indonesia, a democracy which was a tolerant society until "political Islam" recently gained prominence and power. Now sex outside marriage has been criminalised over the whole country and a couple of provinces have adopted Sharia law. In these privinces people are flogged for transgressions of Islamic law such as: being gay, unmarried people of the opposite sex hugging. Even non-muslims are punished for transgressions such as eating publically during the day in Ramadan. This is in a democracy. Is it Islamophibic to find Islamic law abhorent? While being loving towards Muslims?

    This video kept showing up as a recommendation, so I finally watched it today. Great to hear so many different attorneys' stories of how they started a solo practice. I've been solo for over 17 years and agree with most of the advice here. Thank you all for sharing and best wishes to all aspiring solo practitioners.

    This was an excellent presentation. Thank you. What is happening in states like Florida, Texas, Arkansas, Utah, Arizona, this is scary, scary times for our country. Horrific history repeats itself. Very sad to see our neighbors and marginalized people, who don't fit the white privilege mold, being discriminated against. Yet those same people scream about their "constitutional rights" to not get vaccinated or wear a mask or continue to hoard guns. They can scream for themselves, but deny basic human rights to others.
