Resisting the Playbook of Oppression

About

In the last 25 years, since the start of the War on Terror, Queer and Trans folks have been weaponized against other marginalized identities (e.g. the National Women’s Action Plan (2016) to save Queer and Trans folks from Muslims, Palestinians). At the same time, we have been targeted by the very same systems that are supposedly trying to save us—a practice that predates the War on Terror and lives on from 1492.

There is a playbook of oppression that we are facing as a community – even beyond Turtle Island. Parliamentary elections will happen in Morocco in September and civil engagement is at an all time low. Anti-trans SCOTUS rulings are happening fast. This month we focus on resistance to the playbook of oppression as it moves through official channels – the frameworks that are used to target our communities.

Current Offering

Black August

About

At jummah, we gather to share & grow spiritual tools in which we can find rest and respite from the daily aggression of systems of oppression and where we find motivation and strength to resist these systems. We find guidance towards just & liberatory relationships with each other, our communities and our natural world.

This month we are turning to the tradition of Black August, to center that much of the reason we have revolutionary understandings and practices of Islam is thanks to Black freedom fighters.

Disability Pride Month: The Future is Disabled

About

Through disability justice leaders and community, we’ve learned to relate to disability—our own, the ones we love, our community’s, and those in the margins of the margins—not as something fixed, binding, or defined by limitation, but as a site of wisdom, interdependence, and collective care. When the systems around us are designed to attack disabled folks' lives and livelihoods, we must intentionally create futures that love, center, and live with disabled folks. Disability Justice reminds us that disability is not simply an individual condition but is shaped by the systems we live within, and that access, care, and survival are collective responsibilities.

Pride 2026 Jummahs

About

While Pride oftentimes highlights trans and queer histories, this increased attention is always fleeting. The causes we struggle for and the work we constantly fight for has existed before Pride and will exist after. We ask, what is the true purpose of Pride? What is visibility for the trans &/or gender expansive Muslim community? What is Pride when it is aligned with genocide? Most importantly, what does it mean to use the momentum of such a month strategically for the liberated world we want to build?

About

Join us for a five-session series exploring mutual aid as an Islamic practice. This program begins illuminating how we as trans-queer Muslims define and experience mutual aid. By analyzing what mutual aid may look like in both times of crisis and utopia, this theory-oriented series will offer insight into how mutual aid grounds us in Islam and how this orientation of mutual aid allows us to nurture faith in alternative, liberated systems.
