Update 6/8/18: Our hearts and condolences are with #AnthonyBourdain’s family, friends, and colleagues. He will be remembered for opening our palettes, minds, and hearts through food, dialogue, and compassion in our shared humanity. One such example was his Parts Unknown episode addressing the Israeli-Palestinian divide for which we recognized Anthony in 2014 as a “voice of courage and conscience.” He humbly considered his work to be of “very little courage” and an “ordinary amount of conscience.” Yet, his life and work reflect the exact opposite. Tony, you will be missed. ---------- Like us on Facebook http://on.fb.me/1krQyN3 Follow us on Twitter & Instagram @mpac_national Media Coverage of the 2014 Media Awards: "The Nation" Magazine http://bit.ly/1mbw52E Haaretz http://bit.ly/1ot1E8U Daily Kos http://bit.ly/1kcmfhs

MPAC held a press conference alongside notable Muslim community leaders at the National Press Club to announce a new campaign to actively prevent violent extremism. Called the Safe Spaces Initiative, the campaign is the first major national grassroots effort to equip American Muslim community and campus leaders with practical tools for developing healthy communities as well as intervention strategies for troubled individuals.
