Eeeeeee!!! Today’s the day. Bismillah yay. Love our people! . . .... @queercrescent RADICAL MUSLIM MUTUAL AID FUND . As our communities respond & persevere amidst COVID-19, we also enter the eve of Ramadan. This time reminds us of the importance of zakat, the Islamic mutual aid practice around redistribution of wealth Marginalized communities are experiencing compounded barriers to support, lack of access to resources, and job insecurity. Muslim communities are impacted by historical and current imperialism, surveillance, and criminalization, & also in need of support . We hope for a world where communities can be healthy &thrive, free of war, occupation, financial precarity, the prison &immigration detention systems, & lack of access to resources As we work toward this goal, we want to give this small offering to support our communities along the way . Grateful to be partnering w/ @masjidalrabia on this effort Spread the word & share this post! Link in bio. #muslimmutualaid @ Oakland, California

Check it out folks!

This lab is offered for psychotherapists (LCSW, LMFT, Psychologist, Interns) to explore the ways islamophobia may be unconsciously informing your views of working and allying with LGBQT+ Muslims. We will learn frameworks, examine cases, and discuss ways to ally through relational healing.

I couldn’t agree with Patrisse Cullors more! Black folks to the front; we all should have free access to therapy. Living under the conditions we do, every one deserves a safe space to cope with it all.

Healthy practice of letting go to free your own voice. Happy New Year!
