2019 Ramadan
"Seeking Justice Together"
“O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm for Allah, witnesses in justice, and do not let the hatred of a people prevent you from being just. Be just; that is nearer to righteousness.” (5:8)
Welcome to the Michigan Roundtable for Diversity and Inclusion 2019 Ramadan Appeal homepage.
This is the fifth consecutive Ramadan Appeal, begun by our former board chair and dear colleague, Ghalib Begg.
During the 78 years, the Roundtable has been standing against harm to our neighbors because of their religion, race or other identities, we have enjoyed a long history with the Muslim community.
15th Annual Backpack Giveaway Celebration
In partnership with the Mama Akua Community House, we are hosting the 15th annual backpack giveaway in August 2021. While we traditionally host a neighborhood festival as part of the giveaway, Covid-19 has inspired us to take a different approach this year.
This year, we are hosting an outdoor Youth Day on July 31, 2021, where we will have fun activities including a storyteller, and an exotic zoo!
The Backpack Giveaway has options for Detroit families to either register to pick up backpacks on August 7th, 2021, or have backpacks delivered on August 14th, 2021. Backpacks are currently for Detroit students only and priority will be given to our low-income families.
You can register for each event by going to:
