My Nonprofit Reviews

The work that The Salaam Network (TSN) has done in our community since its start in 2016 is outstanding. It defines itself as an education network and its members include highly-respected scholars, artists, writers, and peace-and-justice activists. Its goal is to develop a culture of knowledge through its fact-based programs on a number of subjects which have relevance for us today.

TSN has done a large number of presentations on the three Abrahamic faiths - Judaism, Christianity and Islam, highlighting the commonalities among Jews, Christians and Muslims. It has also done programs on a number of significant contemporary issues such as Islamophobia, women-related issues, matters relating to the LGBTQ community, and immigration policies and laws which impact the vast diversity of immigrants in Louisville.

TSN has conducted its activities in a variety of venues including churches, mosques, Jewish places of worship, the Tibetan Buddhist Drepung Gomang Center for Engaging Compassion, universities, libraries, and community centers. It has built a reputation for presenting quality
programs which offer information that can be trusted. Its motto is to make the Beloved Community of Louisville whole.

TSN consists of volunteers who donate a lot of their time and expertise to bring about better
understanding and relations amongst Louisville’s diverse communities. All its programs are
presented free of charge. If it had financial resources it could extend its outreach widely and
broaden its offerings. I strongly support TSN’s valuable work in bridge-building and peace-making, and wish it all success in future endeavors.
