SUMMARY:The Occupation of the American Mind
DESCRIPTION:Advocates 4 Justice is hosting a virtual screening and discussion on January 13 at 6pm\, and everyone’s invited!\n\nWe’ll be watching The Occupation of the American Mind\, a documentary that explores how public narratives are shaped; about Israel and Palestine\, about conflict\, about power\, and how these narratives influence what Americans come to see as normal\, acceptable\, or inevitable.\n\nThe documentary opens a door to a broader conversation about our own society. How the stories we are told affect the way marginalized communities are viewed and treated here in the United States\, including immigrants\, people of color\, and other groups who often experience unequal treatment or diminished protections.\n\nThis is not about blame or ideology. It’s about awareness. It’s about understanding how narratives shape policy\, how policy shapes lives\, and why informed\, thoughtful civic participation matters.\n\nWe’ll talk about how this connects to human rights\, racial justice\, immigrant justice\, and ultimately to the kind of leadership we choose and the kind of political system we build through our votes.\n\nJoin this free virtual screening and discussion. It’s open to anyone who wants to learn\, reflect\, and engage respectfully. You may also get a chance to hear from some of our new generation of candidates.\nPre-registration is required.

SUMMARY:Meet Your Allies
DESCRIPTION:Racism against Muslims is rampant in our country and we need to stand up against it. We need to come together as diverse communities to protect one another and unite. \nIf we remain divided\, and make it easy for the government to pin us against each other\, these fascist leaders will continue to use us as pawns in their dirty\, corrupt games. \nWhen our communities are in danger\, we need to stand strong together. By sharing spaces to learn about one another\, we build relationships and bonds that can not be broken by myths and false information. \nLet’s start by coming together for a meaningful community conversation about Confronting Islamophobia in America. \n🗓 Saturday\, May 30\, 2026\n🕒 3–6 PM\n📍 Al Nahda Center – Oak Lawn \nFeaturing panelists and authors Anna Piela and Michael Woolf (Confronting Islamophobia in the Church: Liturgical Tools for Justice). \nWe’ll be discussing: \n• The realities of Islamophobia in America\n• The role of solidarity in confronting hate\n• How Muslims and allies can challenge racism and division \nThis is a space to connect with advocates\, faith leaders\, and community members committed to justice and understanding. \n✅ Free admission (in-person only)\n🍽 Refreshments will be served \nRegister here:\ntinyurl.com/MYAIslam \nHosted by:\nAdvocates 4 Justice | Al Nahda Center | Mennonite Action Chicago | Challenging Islamophobia Together Chicagoland (CITC) \nCome be part of a respectful\, grounded dialogue where every voice matters 🤝
