As we mark the 20th anniversary of 9/11 and look ahead to a multicultural future, what are we learning about American diversity and division? On Sept 8th, join #CourageousConversations w/ Eboo Patel & David French presented by Urban Consulate. Info: eventbrite.com/e/164998140881


📢 📢 Exciting news! We are proud to announce the appointment of our inaugural president, political theorist and longtime Brown University professor John Tomasi. CC: Jonathan Haidt Jeffrey Flier heterodoxacademy.org/hxannouncement…

"America is an interfaith nation — Muslims belong to it, and it belongs to us. We are stewards of its legacy; we take responsibility for its future." Eboo Patel for the Chicago Tribune outline.com/tbV5DW



Top story of the day on @npr is the role that religion plays in vaccine issues, from exemptions to getting people vaccinated. Robert P. Jones - Hidden Roots of White Supremacy @prri and @ifyc make the case for remembering there’s always a religious dimension to public issues. npr.org/2021/12/09/106…


In his forthcoming book "We Need To Build", IFYC Founder Eboo Patel draws upon over 20 years of experience to offer an inspirational guide for those who seek to promote positive social change and build a more diverse and just democracy. Preorder here: bit.ly/WN2B


A #Nebraska kind of day in the middle of the country. Late February gray. Spinning the vinyl by the fireplace and tuned w headphones on long rural walks. Gotta be Bruce Springsteen’s most underrated album

.Eboo Patel announces that his organization, @ifyc, is rebranding as "Interfaith America." #RNA2022 It will now serve more than just the higher ed sector.

“Instead of further cementing the current Us vs. Them, wouldn’t it be nice to create a wider sense of ‘Us’?” - Eboo Patel


Indeed! I couldn’t be more excited to return to The University of Chicago and to work with tomginsburg and the campus community on free inquiry and expression

So bittersweet…I will dearly miss the incredible Interfaith America team, and will look forward to watching your impact continue to grow

Logged in for the 1st time in months to affirm this!! Amazing night of music and magic w/ Dead & Company Wrigley. Perfect show Friday and convinced Jerry Garcia transmitted his soul through his Grateful Dead brother Bobby Weir - eternally grateful to you
