Why should you support ING’s speakers bureaus for school and university classrooms, rotary clubs, houses of worship, community centers, civic organizations, and other groups?
“Because religion plays a significant role in history and society. Failure to understand even the basic symbols, practices, and concepts of the various religions makes much of history, literature, art, and contemporary life unintelligible.”
– A Teacher’s Guide to Religion in the Public Schools, First Amendment Center
“Because American-born Muslims, Asians, Latinx and Blacks continue to be racially profiled regardless of their education level, profession, or service to the country. In order to overcome our often divisive narratives of each other and prevent bigotry, we need to understand each other and work to build peaceful, inclusive communities.”
– Maha Elgenaidi, Founder and Executive Director of Islamic Networks Group (ING)
Support our speakers bureaus today in California and other states around the country. Combined, we teach and engage with tens of thousands of people a year, face-to-face.

“I’ve been to many implicit bias trainings before… but the ING training today blew the lid off anti-bias training. I finally get why we have the biases we do about certain groups of people.” – Faculty member, UC Santa Cruz
