We traveled to Los Angeles to meet with Sarah Jawaid, a veteran community organizer who currently serves as the Director of Special Projects with LA Voice - a member of Faith in Action. She is also a driving force behind the Muslim Power Building Project which aims to train Muslim community organizers across the country. This episode was recorded during one of the project's cohort gatherings. Throughout this episode, we will also hear the voices of Rashida James Satya, Ayan Jama, Maheen Ahmed and Abdul-Basit Haqq who are all graduates of the project - and returned as trainers and facilitators to coach another generation of Muslim organizers. They will share insights on what the cohort has meant to them and what they’ve learned through the Muslim Power Building Project.
