The Interfaith Solidarity Network breaks down barriers and inspires solidarity among faith communities in the San Fernando Valley
BORN IN RESISTANCE
In 2017, as the nation faced a growing wave of Islamophobia and rising hate crimes in the wake of the 2016 election, Soraya Deen and Marsha Novak organized a solidarity march in the San Fernando Valley. The strong response of 1,000 marchers led Soraya and Marsha to form The Interfaith Solidarity Network the following year. ISN is a 501(c) 3 non-profit administered by a board of directors that meets monthly.
READY TO RESPOND
In addition to scheduled events , ISN exists to respond in times of tragedy and in times of celebration. Faith communities being in relationship with one another allow us to practice interfaith cooperation, to mobilize against intolerance and to advocate for eco-justice and housing equity.
INTERFAITH SOLIDARITY NETWORK EVENTS & ADVOCACY
Interfaith solidarity is the foundation for our year-round work. This includes our Solidarity Marches, interfaith music festivals, interfaith worship services, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Breakfasts, workshops and educational opportunities.
TRANSFORMING THE SAN FERNANDO VALLEY
Interfaith Solidarity Network is committed to creating opportunities for individuals and communities throughout the Valley to both connect and be changed. We believe in the power of relationships to have the Valley reflect the values we hold so dearly.
