Anti-Islamic rhetoric is spreading across America like wildfire as fear-mongering tactics and crass statements by politicians continue to create an ominous climate at home for Muslim-Americans.

This event includes Scholars, Researchers, Artists, Poets, Media Producers, Artists, Activists and Community Organizations to foment a multi-medium engagement with Islamophobia.

This event will be available via livestream.
