Relief for Rohingya | Benefit Dinner

As part of the national #Hearts4Humanity campaign, MAS Urbana-Champaign and Islamic Relief collaborate to host a Benefit Dinner for those affected by the crisis in Myanmar. Our Keynote Speaker, Dr. Mehmoodur Rasheed will be sharing his personal experiences from his visit to Rohingyan Refugee camps in Bangladesh. April 1, 2018 | 5 PM MAS Urbana-Champaign (2011 Brownfield Rd. Urbana, IL 61822) Speakers: Dr. Mehmoodur Rasheed (Keynote Speaker) Sh. Rodwaan Saleh (Speaker, Fundraiser) Prices (Online |On-site): Kids & Students: $12 | $15 Adults: $15 | $20 Families (4-5): $50 | $65 Families (6+): $70 | $85 Thousands of people across Myanmar are displaced and are unable to return to their homes. The United Nations estimates that more than 168,000 people have been displaced since inter-community conflict erupted in 2012. About 500,000 people have sought shelter in Bangladesh since violence erupted in Myanmar in late August 2017, according to the United Nations. Continued tensions keep many in danger and in need of help. That exacerbates other problems, such as food insecurity: According to the World Food Program, more than 162,000 people are facing food insecurity and another 78,000 people are in need of immediate food assistance. Islamic Relief has helped hundreds of thousands of people suffering in Myanmar. As a family, Islamic Relief has been providing aid across Myanmar since 2012. And in 2015, an official office, Islamic Relief Myanmar, opened.

Open Mic Night: Finding Hope in Hopeless Times

SIGN UP TO PERFORM HERE: https://goo.gl/forms/VGnzofbZLgzinbOo1 In an era of genocide, ethnic erasure, massacres, indigenous expulsion from ancestral land, state violence, and institutionalized racism, there comes a moment when we must stop and wonder. What is going on? How did we get to this point? What is wrong with the world? What is wrong with humanity? How do we make sense of this? What can we do? Can we do anything at all? We have our voices. Come join us at the Red Herring restaurant for an open mic poetry night to share your spoken word, poetry, songs, and other reflections on the struggles of the oppressed. Themes welcomed: Hope, love, peace, joy, triumph of the human spirit, connection, solidarity, grief, loss, refugees, fleeing, violence, war, oppression, state violence, institutionalized racism, evil, and anything related to those themes. Proceeds will go to help victims of the ongoing Rohingya refugee crisis. *** The Rohingya are an ethnic and religious minority in Myanmar, where the current government is expelling them en masse from their ancestral lands, burning their villages, raping and killing their women and children, and sending them in droves to neighboring Bangladesh. Bangladesh no longer wants to deal with the refugees and their camps, and is in talks with the Myanmar government--which has refused to allow in journalists to report on what is really going on--to send the Rohingya back to Myanmar. *** This event is just the most recent in an ocean of so many other atrocities, genocides, refugee crises, and forced diasporas in our own time and in the past: Somalia, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Syria, Palestine, Kashmir, Afghanistan, Mexico, Guatemala, the Jewish diaspora. Tickets are $3 at the door. All proceeds will go to help victims of the ongoing Rohingya refugee crisis. Refreshments will be available for sale as well. Hope to see you there!

MAS Youth FNL: Islam & Culture: Family + Basketball and Open Gym

2/5/16 6-9 PM MAS Center (2011 Brownfield Rd. Urbana, IL 61822) Family is the cornerstone to a healthy society. We know that Islam puts a big emphasis on family values and relationships, but how do we consolidate that with many of our cultural practices that make it hard to communicate with each other. How do we deal with differences we have with our parents? What happens when our individual family values clash with Islamic ones? What can we do when parents keep us from pursuing our dreams or aspirations? And how to handle situations that family members often force us in to. All while maintaining an atmosphere of respect, appreciation, and mutual love between all family members? Is it an impossible task? Come discuss that with us this Friday at FNL. PLUS: Open Gym Basketball AND Free Food!
