No
doubt, the last few months have been difficult on the American Muslim
community and beyond. But with that comes a silver lining. It has
sparked an energy in the community to organize in support of Muslims
like never before.
With that vision in mind, the need to
expand the Grassroots Iftar, now in its 3rd year, was never more
obvious. So this year's Organizing Committee has put together Grassroots
Iftar events in 3 areas - Central New Jersey, South Florida and the DMV
Capital region - on the same night, Saturday, June 3rd, 2017.

given an opportunity to hear about current movements being built by
experienced activists to address these issues and ways to get involved
and contribute. The event will wrap up with salaat, iftar and dinner, and
include ample opportunity for networking and building strong, organizing
ties.
