Many frontline communities face environmental challenges with few resources and little recognition. One solution is to build culturally grounded, community-led movements for environmental justice.
In this episode, Huda Alkaff, Founder and Director of Wisconsin Green Muslims, shares how she has spent over two decades weaving together faith, ecology, and grassroots action to advance water equity.
Huda explains how Islamic teachings inspire a life focused on sustainability—from spiritual water practices during Ramadan to systemic solutions like water filter distribution.
She also discusses the expansion of the Green Muslims into Michigan and advocacy around issues like lead contamination and PFAS.
Through her systems-thinking approach and deep belief in interconnectedness, Huda offers a powerful model for inclusive and spiritually rooted environmental leadership.
