Salaam,
A friend, who is a certified Muslimah mental health therapist, and I are working on creating a virtual Emotional Abuse Workshop and/or healing circle for Muslim women. If interested please sign up (times are in EST time zone) by the end of the month (July 2020)!
We are still looking for a match for Liyna. In honor of Liyna, and the 80-95% of minorities with blood cancer who do not find a match and may not survive as a result, we are hosting a nationwide event with DKMS to help increase minority registration on the blood stem cell donor registry list.
We are urgently seeking a lifesaving match for Liyna.
If you belong to a masjid community that is interested in hosting a blood cancer drive on May 31st, for many the 27th night of Laylatul Qadr please check out the facebook event or email teamliyna@gmail.com
Please share widely.

THANK YOU for all those who registered for a swab kit. You all are already heroes. Please continue to share, hoping and praying a match to be found.
FAQ: Is this for US residents only?
The number above is for US residents BUT there are cooperative registries Be the Match works with throughout the world - check your country's cooperative registry here: https://bethematch.org/about-us/global-transplant-network/cooperative-registries/
I entered the registry for Liyna. I’m just waiting for my swab kit to arrive
Thank you so so so so much!!!

A FAQ:
Who are they looking for?
Ideally, someone who is 18 - 44 of South Asian descent. Gender does not matter (have been asked this a lot). If you are not South Asian, I would still consider requesting a swab kit, because you might be a match/hero for someone else’s best friend.
Thank you everyone for reblogging and sharing, please continue to reblog and share and sign up for this!

today is Nov. 15. the FCC, under chairman Ajit Pai, will not listen to the public despite millions of comments in support of net neutrality. They are going to try their hardest to kill net neutrality, which in turn will kill the internet, which in turn will help eradicate democracy. it won’t just affect Americans, it has the potential to affect the entire internet, something we ALL use daily. you can bet your ass other countries will see america doing this, and use it as an excuse to do it in their own countries.
this is what buying a plan without net neutrality looks like there:
you have to pay MORE for features you’re already guaranteed to have under net neutrality. and in america, you already know how expensive everything is.
democrats AND republicans both want net neutrality. advocacy groups in touch with congress have said that if your members of congress receive calls from you, they are more encouraged and more likely to take action to stop Pai’s plan to gut net neutrality. after Nov. 22, it will be MUCH HARDER to convince your member of congress.
please, call them. call them daily.
hey guys, please reblog this version and don’t forget to call!!! if you are nervous about calling, you can use resistbot to send faxes to your reps and the stance app to pre-record your message so you won’t have to speak to anyone. (available in both google play and app store)
Reblogging this for the addition of Resistbot and Stance. I just tried out Resistbot, and it makes things SUPER easy - it adds the “dear (name of congressperson)” and “sincerely (your name)” automatically, so you just need to say what you want to say.
Women who are beyond done with all of this shit.

When I look at this I feel like it should be something from 100 years ago but this is really going on right now
I want to wallpaper my whole house with these.
Every year, L’Oréal Paris sponsors a wonderful awards program that recognizes a group of women who "find beauty in giving back to their communities." Called the Women of Worthaward, the campaign recognizes 10 women for their respective contributions to bettering their communities, with the ultimate winner receiving a grant of $25,000 to donate to her charity of choice. This year's Women of Worth proceedings were going off without a hitch — that is, until a slew of Internet trolls decided to rally against finalist Rana Abdelhamid because of her race and religion.
As reported by The Cut, Rana, a human rights activist and social entrepreneur who at age 16 founded the International Muslim Women’s Initiative for Self-Empowerment, which supports Muslim women's empowerment through "self-defense and skills-based training," started to receive hateful comments on L’Oréal Paris’s Facebook page when a post featuring her story was published. The troll backlash to Rana became so prevalent that L’Oréal issued a statement on its social media accounts.
"We are very proud of Rana and all of our Women of Worth honorees. We believe in the intrinsic worth of all women, and do not tolerate hate in any form," L’Oréal wrote on Twitter. "We are saddened to see some hateful reactions to Rana’s story and are grateful to those that have responded in support."
Today Only is there campaign where every like/share of this video is a vote for IM WISE’s cause:
They need about 25K likes to win that 25K which will help IM WISE continue doing their work. Please please please share with your networks. They need all of the visibility they can get.
Please spread they and L’Oréal are getting a lot of hate for this!
How can I write about working in Tijuana without discussing the border and its implications? As one of our participants described how the border had torn apart her family, she expressed sadness and frustration all ending with a phrase that has been burned into my mind since – “it’s the same sky.“
The border has a profound impact:
During my four months here, I have encountered countless stories of children, partners, or parents who haven’t seen each other in years because of the border. Politics aside, the border has a huge impact on families.

I'll end this by advising the Muslim youth: Tariq Ramadan is not a sincere scholar. Do not look to this man as your role model, your guide to help you in matters of your faith as you grow up, the supposed reformer who brings together Islam and the West. Womanising and rape have nothing to do with Islamic morality. Tariq Ramadan does not embody the character of our Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). In all seriousness, I cannot decide who is more dangerous for my religion: the likes of Tariq Ramadan, the Islamophobes, or Islamic extremists.
