"With demographic anxiety and political rhetoric fueling discrimination and hostility, the Ford Foundation—together with the New York Community Trust, the New York Foundation, and Philanthropy New York—hosted a discussion on 'Confronting Islamophobia in America Today.' Leaders from the nonprofit, government, social service, and philanthropic sectors came together to discuss the major issues affecting these minority communities, and to strategize about how to advance inclusion."

Several members of the Arab American Association of New York (AAANY), a TAKE ON HATE field organizer, were invited to participate in the discussion. Check out the video below featuring Aber Kawas, AAANY Youth Organizer.
