#OBI is committed to promoting inclusion and equity for all communities. As part of this mission, the institute has initiated the Islamophobia project. This project aims to tackle discrimination, xenophobia, and intolerance faced by Muslim Americans and the global Muslim community.
Since the 9/11 attacks, Islamophobia has evolved, shifting blame onto all Muslims for the actions of a few and becoming institutionalized in both policy and rhetoric. The project is dedicated to unmasking these complexities and challenging the power structures perpetuating discrimination.
This #askOBI video features @EdAhmedMitchell, @alsadig, and Dr. Linda Hyokki as a summary of the Islamophobia Project. To learn more on International Day of Combating #Islamophobia, please visit https://t.co/PlF5RIbO2F.
Our database on Islamophobia-related legislation has been updated with new data visualizations and a timeline tracking federal measures disproportionately affecting Muslims. Stay informed and help us combat Islamophobia. #DataVisualization#AntiMuslimBills

This webinar seeks not only to shed light on the critical role of #Agroecology in empowering #African communities against #ClimateEmergency, but also to clarify the intricacies of climate change negotiations and its current dynamics.
Our expert panel will unravel the synergy between agroecological practices, #FoodSystems , and climate resilience, with a spotlight on community-driven initiatives and the imperative of policy backing. Attendees will gain invaluable insights into the challenges climate change inflicts on Africa's food systems, and the transformative ways in which #Agroecology and #FoodSovereignty are countering these issues.
This gathering will serve as a call for action – to raise awareness and build a united front advocating for the integration of Agroecology in climate negotiations, which holds the promise of a resilient African future.
