How Do I Cultivate Hope Over Despair? With Rami Nashashibi

In the late 90s, sociologist and organizer Rami Nashashibi
encountered Chicago communities facing poverty, gun violence and
substandard housing. Rather than succumb to pessimism or despair,
he founded the Inner-City Muslim Action Network to organize
people to fight for community investment and dignified lives.
Guest host Stephanie Wittels Wachs speaks with Rami about how
both his upbringing and his Muslim faith shape his vision for
social justice. Plus, Rami shares what it takes to build and
sustain trust in an interfaith coalition.
