The story of the Sisterhood of Salaam Shalom brought hope and inspiration during Women’s History Month this year: we partnered with the Kaufman Interfaith Institute in Western Michigan for a screening of Stranger/Sister and discussion moderated by Dr. Jennifer Howe Peace with Sisterhood of Salaam Shalom Co-Founders, Sheyl Olitzky and Atiya Aftab, along with Filmmaker Kirsten Kelly. Over 200 people registered for this virtual event to discover new ways to build bridges across lines of difference to stop hate.
“As a Black Faith Leader, gun violence survivor, and gun violence advocate, I have witnessed firsthand the lack of attention to the senseless killing of Black children, whose life and death were just as important as those in the Sandy Hook shooting. WE ARE ALL NEWTOWN, continues to remind us gun violence affects all people and we all hurt and grieve the loss of a loved one, the same.”
— Rev. Sharon Risher, Red Letter Christian screening participant
