Responses in the wake of El Paso and Dayton, and a president who is stoking a firestorm of hate.  Masood Akhtar and Nino Amato are founding members of “We Are Many: United Against Hate,” a Wisconsin-based group that came together to fight against hatred and white supremacism, and to transform hate into positive life-affirming education and action. 

The conversation is wide-ranging, and encompasses many aspects of racial and economic justice as they relate locally to the week’s tragic events, and efforts to transform this moment, for our world, our nation and our state.

This discussion occurs in the context of the radio program, “Community Conversations,” produced and broadcast out of the studios of the Sun Prairie (WI) Media Center.  Program host and  producer is John Quinlan, in this, a project of Forward Forum media.  For more information, go to www.forwardforum.net or write to John.L.Quinlan@gmail.com .

‘Lives are being lost for no reason’: Wisconsin movement addresses hate

Masood Akhtar speaks out in response to the recent shootings in El Paso, TX and Dayton, OH.

“We believe a lot of things you are seeing are because of fear, hate and confusion…”

“Hate is not a Republican issue. It’s not a Democrat issue,” he said. “It’s a human issue. Lives are being lost for no reason.”
