As reported in World Religion News, NewGround executive director Aziza Hasan was one of several panelists at a discussion following the Interfaith Solidarity March in Los Angeles, organized and produced by the Institute for Religious Tolerance, Peace and Justice (IRTPJ). 

The NewGround Professional Change-Maker Program provides the expertise and relationships needed to transform Muslim-Jewish relations and work on issues of shared concern. This experience is an investment in religious, civic, and communal leadership to foster a network in which community members support and challenge one another.

Spectrum News journalist Zarina Khairzada profiled our programs director, Tasneem Noor, and associate director, Andrea Hodos, on how NewGround's work has been impacted by the crisis in Israel and Gaza, and how they have needed to adapt the fellowship to meet this moment.

We are in search of strong candidates for next year’s MAJIC cohort. Learning to listen resiliently and speak with courageous compassion is more critical than ever before. MAJIC provides the space to have rough draft conversations and build coalition skills at a time when polarization is ripping us apart.
