On Saturday, February 15, 2025 from 6:30pm to 8:30pm, Muslim Counterpublics Lab in collaboration with Muslim Power Building will hostour first Counterpublic Cafe of the year, titled "Building Coalitions to Confront State Violence." This cafe will focus on renewing our commitments to each other and our communities to tackle the threat that U.S. state violence, hegemony, and empire pose to all of us. The Counterpublic Cafe will include a viewing of the “The First Rainbow Coalition,” a documentary about the coalition spearheaded by Black Panther Party leader Fred Hampton that included the Puerto Rican group The Young Lords, and a White group called the Young Patriots. Leaders in the community will then guide us through a discussion on how to build alliances in these precarious times so that we can protect our communities.

On Friday, February 14, 2025 from 6pm to 9pm, Muslim Counterpublics Lab in collaboration with Muslim Power Building will host “A Muslim Kind of Love” - an evening to honor our community’s strength and joy. As Muslim communities navigate a landscape of persistent misconceptions, we know intimately the power of resistance through love. We refuse to let anyone dictate what Islam prescribes, or how we as Muslims should relate to our faith or each other. The event will include food, activities, a raffle, and most importantly, connection. Allies welcome too!

Register for location.

Mark your calendars if you want to get involved with Ramadhan planning! We are returning to virtual format for this meeting to make sure we remain as accessible as possible so all can join and discuss what sort of events you would like to see this Ramadhan.

As always, this discussion space is for sharing and healing. We want to be mindful and hold space for any heavy feelings without judgement. Be mindful of the space you need, as well as the space you may not need.

Join For Ayşenur on Monday, December 16 at 5:30pm at Lafayette Square in front of the White House for a candlelight vigil to honor the memory of Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi. Ayşenur was murdered by an Isr*eli sniper while protesting in Beita, Palestine on September 6, 2024. Her killing reflects the violence of Zionism, and its threat to the broader fight for justice and liberation for Palestinians and oppressed people everywhere.

Ayşenur’s story is part of a larger struggle against systemic violence, fueled by the Israeli occupation and U.S. weaponry. As we mark 100 days since her murder, we echo her family’s calls for an independent investigation into her killing by the White House, Justice Department, and State Department, and demand an end to Israeli impunity.

We will be joined by members of Ayşenur’s family, congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, and local organizers as we honor Ayşenur’s legacy.

Please wear purple, the color Ayşenur was wearing when she was killed, and stand with us in the fight for justice and liberation for all.

Afterwards, there will be a Post-Vigil Community Gathering beginning at 7:15pm in the Edward Bunn Intercultural Center (ICC), Suite #241 on Georgetown University’s Main Campus.

Join the NoVA Virginia for Palestine Coalition to learn about the Virginia Israel Advisory Board (VIAB) and hang out with comrades and allies from across the area. Masks required. It’s time to learn together and strengthen our community!

The use of Guantánamo Bay prison to house Muslim men detained under the guise of the War on Terror, has long been one of the most emblematic examples of institutionalized Islamophobia post 9/11. From torture to indefinite detention, Guantánamo has set the precedent for the treatment of Muslims post 9/11. Since the prison open to house War on Terror prisoners on January 11th, 2002, the population of men incarcerated has gone from 780 to 30. However, the injustice of these prison walls has continued to haunt those currently incarcerated and those who have been transferred out. Join the Guantánamo Survivors Fund and Muslim Counterpublics Lab for a conversation between Alka Pradhan and Dr. Maha Hilal on the current context of Guantanamo, what has transpired in the last 4 years of the Biden administration, what changes we can expect under Trump, and how we can continue to call for the closure of the prison, an end to torture, and accountability for all the men detained in this U.S. Naval Base in Cuba.
