MUSLIM AMERICAN SOCIETY OF BOSTON
"Confronting Islamophobia: The Realities of Muslim Life in Boston"

We will explore Muslim traditions and practices together while learning
about the ways Islamophobia impacts the lives of Muslim people. We will
learn how Islam calls Muslims to do justice and how that work happens
locally and internationally.

The Muslim American Society (MAS Boston) is committed to providing a broad
range of social services for the local Muslim and non-Muslim community.
Successful projects in the recent past include the diversity training of
hundreds of police officers and law enforcement officials, the distribution
of 'udhiya meat to local Muslims and non-Muslims, reaching hundreds of youth
with leadership and spiritual development programs, mobilizing Muslims to
become civically and politically active, establishing a Speakers Bureau to
address hundreds of requests for speakers on Islam, and initiating
interfaith projects with local Christian and Jewish communities.
