How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Experiential Interfaith Engagement to Challenge Biasesmethodology: experiential-educationBy using immersive, experience-based activities such as shared holiday celebrations and dialogue, we foster interfaith understanding and reduce prejudice because direct, joyful participation disrupts stereotypes and builds authentic empathy.
- Interfaith Solidarity through Shared Values and Joint Actionmethodology: interfaith-solidarityBy building relationships between Muslim and Jewish communities grounded in shared values and collective action, we counter hate and drive social change because mutual recognition and trust create a foundation for sustained solidarity.
- Relational Organizing for Cultural Changemethodology: relational_organizingBy fostering deep, sustained interpersonal relationships across religious and cultural lines through intimate settings like community-hosted meals and ongoing fellowships, we redefine community and shift social norms because personal connections transform abstract diversity into lived experience, making inclusion a shared value.
