Equity, Not Equality, Is Needed In The Fight For Social Change
A two-panel illustration breaks down the difference between equity and equality with imagery of three people of varying heights behind a fence at a baseball game. On the left, equality is shown as everyone standing on a crate, but the shortest person cannot see the game, and the middle-height person can just see over the fence. On the right, equity is shown as the shortest individual standing on two boxes, the middle-height person on one, and the tallest without. Everyone can see at the same level.

Stop Shia persecution.
Farwa Zaidi

In America, Muslims are often seen as a monolith. As a whole, we have experienced discrimination and persecution from non-Muslims. What people may not know is that Islam actually consists of many sects, including Sunnism, Shi’ism, Ismailism, and Ahmadiyya, much like how Christianity includes Protestantism and Catholicism. The minority sects, specifically Shi’ism, are currently being persecuted in multiple Muslim-majority countries (Human Rights Watch), including the genocide of Shias in Pakistan (Al Jazeera).
