Because of COVID-19, we had to cancel our plans for in-person gatherings. Virtual events, however, allowed us to highlight the work of Muslims to anyone with an Internet connection. Our Pillars Pop-Up Conversations used Facebook Live to feature a diverse group of storytellers, including authors, political strategists, musicians, poets, visual artists, and Golden Globe winners. We talked about the power of music, protest, and film in the face of injustice and unrecognized grief. We showcased an abundance of Muslim talent while encouraging communities across the country to engage with art by Muslims and for Muslims. And we received more than 43,000 total views on these video conversations!
