Shoulder to Shoulder’s 10th Anniversary Virtual Conversation Series:
Reflecting and Re-imagining with Eboo Patel
Eboo Patel is the Founder and President of Interfaith Youth Core (IFYC), a non-profit organization that is working to make interfaith cooperation a social norm in America. He is the author of four books and dozens of articles, has spoken on more than 150 campuses, and served on President Obama’s Inaugural Faith Council. A key figure on issues of religious diversity and democracy, Eboo was named one of America’s Best Leaders by U.S. News & World Report in 2009. He is the author of Acts of Faith: The Story of an American Muslim, the Struggle for the Soul of a Generation; Sacred Ground: Pluralism, Prejudice, and the Promise of America; Interfaith Leadership: A Primer; and Out of Many Faiths: Religious Diversity and the American Promise. He also publishes a regular blog for Inside Higher Ed, called ‘Conversations on Diversity’.
We’ve come a long way in equipping, connecting & mobilizing faith and community leaders in their work to address the problem of anti-Muslim bigotry & discrimination in the United States. And yet, it’s 2020, and the need for this work has only intensified. We still have a long way to go.
Where are we going and how will we get there? In the midst of all that we are facing, how can we find faith, hope, vision, creativity, and motivation to live into deeper relationships today? How will we (re)imagine our future and make lasting change together?
To mark 10 years of work through the Shoulder to Shoulder Campaign, we will be holding a public conversation series featuring a number of inspiring faith leaders and changemakers who will help us look back on the last decade of engagement on this issue and (re)imagine what the next decade holds.
