Breaking Free from the Failure of Justice

In this episode, I chat with human rights lawyer and activist Qasim Rashid, who explains how community and faith have grounded his activism and guide his work to protect human rights and challenge systemic injustices. Throughout the conversation, he stresses the need for unity against powerful systems that exploit vulnerable communities, the urgency of guaranteeing basic human dignities such as education and safety, and the dangers of voter apathy in a functioning democracy. He also highlights the role of education, open dialogue, and even humor in confronting misinformation—particularly about Islam—and fostering understanding, ultimately painting a vision of a world where basic needs are secured and collective action drives meaningful change.
