Shoulder to Shoulder Gathers National Religious Organizations to Discuss Continued Efforts to Challenge Anti-Muslim Sentiment
Since 2010, the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) has joined with 27 other national faith-based, interfaith, and religious organizations to form the Shoulder-to-Shoulder Campaign to address anti-Muslim sentiment in the United States.

Part Two:
Public Rooftop Revolution with John Farrell Director of Democratic Energy at ILSR, Institute for Local Self-Reliance
There are a lot of stories on residential rooftop solar but few if any on what cities are doing to make themselves energy self-reliant by using their own buildings and lands to generate power.
In Public Rooftop Revolution, ILSR estimates that mid-sized cities could install as much as 5,000 megawatts of solar—as much as one-quarter of all solar installed in the U.S. to date—on municipal property, with little to no upfront cash. It would allow cities to redirect millions in saved energy costs to other public purposes.
