On this solemn day of Ashura
we remember the immense sacrifice of Imam Hussain (AS) and his companions in the battle of Karbala — a timeless stand for truth, justice, and dignity.
May their courage and steadfastness inspire us, and may our hearts remain connected to their legacy.
My deepest condolences to all mourners of Hussain (AS).

“Remembering Karbala Through Communal Care”, by Shereen Yousuf
Shereen Yousuf is a doctoral candidate in the Rhetoric, Politics and Culture program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her research explores how Muslim communities in the U.S. draw from their faith and community knowledge to make sense of the social/political climate in the U.S., and how this informs Muslim-based activism. Prior to moving to Madison, Shereen was an adjunct instructor of intercultural communication, and was heavily involved in the Jafari Shia community in the Chicago-land area. She is currently working with the Shia Racial Justice Coalition to develop an anti-racism curriculum that specifically caters to Jafari Shia Muslim communities in the U.S. for her doctoral dissertation, bridging together her passions for decolonial theorizing, pedagogy, and liberatory community-based practices.
