Our own Masood Akhtar’s op-ed piece, featured in the Cap Times, calls on us all to take a part in speaking out against growing divisiveness and hate-based speech in our country. Nationalist rhetoric promoting fear and demonization of Muslims is fueling distrust and making our country less safe. Rather than singling out one group of people, we need to be singling out hate, violence, and intolerance wherever it is found.
“America is the best country on Earth and a role model for other countries. We all need to work together to protect this country from evil and keep it safe. We have to keep reminding people that it is not white America or black America or brown America. It is the United States of America. We can only keep America safe when we all speak with one voice against those who want to divide or even destroy this country.”
