On Laylat al-Isra wal Mi’raj, we’re reminded that even in the deepest moments of grief and exhaustion, Allah grants elevation, mercy, and reassurance.

This night came to the Prophet ﷺ after immense loss and hardship, and its message feels especially close as our communities carry fear, uncertainty, and pain today.

Tonight is a night for du‘a. For families living in fear. For those targeted and displaced. For courage, steadfastness, and justice. 🤲🏽

🚨 ICE activity is impacting communities across Ohio, and we need to show up for one another.

📅 Join us Saturday, January 17 at 12 PM at Mott Branch Library in Toledo to take action by building whistle kits and learning how to use them.

ℹ️ Whistle kits are simple, low-tech tools neighbors use to alert one another when ICE or federal agents are nearby.

Loved getting to volunteer today with Our Helpers, packing food boxes and delivering groceries to families who need it most. This work truly makes a difference for people who may not be able to get out and shop on their own, especially with increased attacks on immigrant communities.

Donations are tax deductible. Give before midnight to count toward your 2025 taxes and support this important work. 💝

🚨 Ohio: Take Action Now! HB 188 is moving to a floor vote tomorrow. This bill would use Ohio’s state resources to create a partnership with a foreign government accused of ongoing human rights abuses, instead of focusing on the urgent needs of Ohio communities.

📞 Call your Representative and ask them to VOTE NO
📧 Email your Representative to keep Ohio’s resources serving Ohio families
