It’s Day 5 of our Week of Action–and today we’re sharing learning! As they cut off communication in Gaza and strip LGBTQ and anti-racist books from libraries, curricula, and prisons in Florida and beyond, we owe it to ourselves and each other to seek out and share the dreams, histories, and narratives that nurture our spiritual and political growth.
1) ARC member Nadirah Ali has had to work hard to make sure that she and other Muslims–most of them Black women– can practice their faith in women’s prisons in Pennsylvania, often fighting restrictions on observing Ramadan or praying jummah. Right now she needs our help with donations to her facility’s religious library. It has almost no Islamic books aside from the Qur’an. We’ve teamed up with the Feminist Islamic Troublemakers of North America (FITNA) to create a wish list of emancipatory, woman-centered, and feminist Islamic books–please check it out and send whatever you can! tinyurl.com/MuncyBooks
