Community Presentation: Masood Akhtar, Founder of We Are Many - United Against Hate
2023-04-28 12:00 - 13:00 (America/Chicago) | Fond du Lac Campus, Conference Center
The MPTC Diversity team is excited to welcome Masood Akhtar, founder of We Are Many-United Against Hate, to share his story! We Are Many-United Against Hate is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization of common people—urban and rural, spiritual and secular—seeking equal protection for all, united against hate, bigotry and racism. The organization does outreach and intervention in communities to promote understanding, healing, reconciliation and redemption. Instead of simply condemning the latest eruptions of hate-inspired violence, they dig down to the root causes of division, fear and hate. And they advocate policies creating greater economic security, promoting religious tolerance, celebrating differences and honoring America’s heritage of openness to foreigners.
Employees, students, and community members are invited to attend. The presentation will be in person in the FDL campus Conference Center, and streamed to WB Room T117 and BD Room K311.
