It is my pleasure to write this letter in support of in support of The Salaam Network (TSN) is applying for the 2020 Atlantic Renewals Award. And it exactly meets the purpose of this Award as it is a non-profit organization serving our local communities. Louisville is a city with many diverse people from different religious, cultural and ethnic backgrounds. This diversity created many different religious institutions (Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, and others) which creates a need to create a systematic bridge-building effort amongst them. The Salaam Network (TSN) is itself composed of a diverse group of interfaith educators, artists, peacemakers and justice activists who are committed to building a knowledge-based foundation for promoting understanding, amity and wholeness in our city. TSN was founded in 2016 and has been active in providing presentations to enhance the fundamental understanding of the different religions and addressing important issues such as rights of Muslim Women and of LGBTQ. TSN may be a relatively small organization with very limited financial resources but it is already making a significant contribution to Louisville.

This grant will allow TSN to expand its work and disseminate the presentations and knowledge to a larger audience. This effort is needed to educate the majority about the “other” who are becoming more vulnerable across our society.
