In the aftermath of the election and in response to the rising hate crimes in the U.S. against Muslims, national Christian and Jewish leaders will join their Muslim colleagues at **Masjid Muhammad(**1519 4th Street NW, Washington DC) on **Friday, November 18, 2016** for the daily Muslim prayer service.

Before prayers, the national faith leaders will stand together at the mosque **12:00 p.m. ET** to demonstrate interfaith cooperation and solidarity, and to call on the incoming administration to protect religious liberty and defend Muslims against violence, hate speech and discrimination.

The leaders, organized by [Shoulder-to-Shoulder](http://www.shouldertoshouldercampaign.org/?ref=iqra.ca), an interfaith organization dedicated to ending anti-Muslim bigotry, will release a joint letter calling on the President-elect to affirm his election night promise to be a president for all Americans, including those who are Muslim.

Leaders expected to participate include: **Dr. Peter Vander Meulen** of the Christian Reform Church, the **Rev. Dr. Carol Flett** of Washington National Cathedral, **Bishop Bill Gafkjen** of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, **Rabbi Rachel Gartner** of Georgetown University, **Rabbi Jack Moline** of Interfaith Alliance, **Rabbi Esther Lederman** of the Union for Reform Judaism, **Azhar Azeez,** President, ISNA, **Imam Mohamed Magid** of the ADAMS Center, **Imam Talib Shareef** of Masjid Muhammad, **Catherine Orsborn** of Shoulder-to-Shoulder, and more.
