Making Contact
"Making Contact" is produced by International Media Project, an independent, non-profit organization founded in 1994, committed to investigative journalism, in-depth critical analysis, the promotion of civic participation and the dissemination of educational material. Its core focus is National Radio Project, the team that creates Making Contact.
Leading up to the US Supreme Court hearing on Trump’s travel ban, we’ll hear about the orders impact on people from affected, Muslim-majority countries, and how advocacy groups like the Council on American-Islamic Relations are responding. On this edition of Making Contact, we begin with the story of a woman who was in flight to the US when President Trump signed his first travel ban.
Featuring:
Nisrin Abdelrahman, Stanford PhD student in Anthropology; Zahar Billoo, civil rights attorney and executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, San Francisco Bay Area chapter.
