One Human Family

All deserve to feel welcome in this home we share, and we want our Muslim sisters and brothers who have supported us consistently as community members to know that when they are so unfairly condemned we will speak out more loudly to defend them. Additionally, for those seeking to create a home in the United States, we are a nation who believes in judging others by their character, not by their color, nation of origin or religion. We are one human family.

By displaying a yard sign or banner you can publicly show your support for Muslims and refugees targeted by harassment and intolerance.

Gain Skills

  • Bystander Intervention Training: As we see media accounts of attacks against immigrants, Muslims, and other populations, many of us have asked ourselves, “what would I do if I were there?” The good news is that there are skills and techniques that you can learn and practice to keep others safe. You don’t have to be passive! ICPJ can train you how to respond. Our Bystander Intervention Training will teach the basic tactics you can use to de-escalate or redirect threats and harassment. Visit our events page for a list of upcoming public trainings, or contact Info@ICPJ.org to for information about booking a training for your school, congregation, or workplace in Washtenaw County. Outside of Washtenaw County please contact Meta Peace Team for training opportunities.
