Internalized Islamophobia: Shame vs Pride in Being a Muslim
Linda Sarsour
12 PM
There is one term that every American is familiar with in today's mainstream media: Islamophobia. Many of the people we interact with on a daily basis are Islamophobic and openly despise our community. It gets to the point where we adopt the islamophobic mindset and hesitate to overtly declare our faith. Let's discuss how Muslim youth can rediscover their true self and be proud of their identity.

Allyship: The Key to Unlocking the Power of Diversity
Linda Sarsour
8:20 PM
As a new generation of activists emerges via social media and other platforms, we must remember that solidarity is more than a concept; it is a verb. Palestinians, Afghans, Uyghurs, French, Yemenis, and others are subjected to unimaginable levels of social and political tyranny. What can we, as Muslim youth, do to assist our brothers and sisters who are victims of oppression, malnutrition, and apartheid, among other things? How can we best utilize our resources to assist Muslims who are in severe need? What does it mean to stand in solidarity with all Muslims around the world? Join us as we discuss how to be an ally and your role in activism as Muslim youth.
