Do moms really need to be on the front lines of protecting free speech? Are moms responsible for organizing protests and being patriots?

We will discuss our roles and responsibilities in protecting our freedoms so that our kids and country benefit.Links:1) Background on Bahia's case (short summary) https://www.npr.org/2018/12/26/680129742/texas-school-employee-suing-over-pro-israel-oath2) Background on case https://www.google.com/amp/s/beta.washingtonpost.com/nation/2018/12/18/she-lost-her-school-job-after-refusing-sign-pro-israel-pledge-now-shes-filing-lawsuit/%3FoutputType%3Damp3) Background on case https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.texastribune.org/2019/04/26/Texas-bahia-amawi-speaks-out-against-anti-israel-boycott/amp/4) Bahia's big win! https://theintercept.com/2019/04/26/in-case-brought-by-school-speech-pathologist-texas-federal-court-becomes-the-third-to-strike-down-pro-israel-oath-as-unconstitutional/5) Bahia's letter to the state https://cairaustin.org/an-open-letter-from-bahia-amawi-on-texas-house-bill-793/6) Intercept video summary of the case https://youtu.be/f_j5pNTGnkM7) Find your local CAIR chapter and support! https://www.cair.com/8) Find your state and see if it has illegal and subversive legislation threatening your free speech and protest https://palestinelegal.org/righttoboycottEmail: mommyingwhilemuslim@gmail.comWeb: www.mommyingwhilemuslim.com Check "Voices" for our blogFB: Mommying While MuslimIG: @mommyingwhilemuslimpodcastSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/mommyingwhilemuslimpodcast)

Mommying While Muslim is a one of a kind podcast where two American born and bred Muslim moms share their experiences to raise second generation kids. Having experienced both pre and post 9/11 America, they're acutely aware of the unique challenges their families face on top of the regular messes that all moms share. Mommying While Muslim is a space to take back their stories, and tell those no one will air on the news or portray fully or fairly in the media.Zaiba Hasan and Uzma Jafri are moms first, careerwomen second, and global citizens at heart. They meet taboo topics head on because they weren't allowed to do it growing up, not at home or at school and work. They aim to better their immediate households, communities, and their momsisterhood the world over by telling the truths sometimes people don't want to face or to hear. Not everyone has the privileges they have, and they are eager to learn more than they are to share their own experiences. Always looking to give back, they find women and families who need a mic because no one needs a voice; they just need an opportunity to speak. Besides tough social issues, they also tackle political ones because when laws affect their kids, they're coming for them as well as the ones who make them! There's no lane that doesn't get taken here.Along the way, they recruit momallies for Muslim Americans who have been inordinately targeted for the last 20 years. True moms know that ALL our children deserve to be safe, loved, and happy, and we bust every yellow brick on the Islamaphobic road to make sure they all are. If you like good trouble, this one's for you!
