This Sunday (February 19), Russell Simmons will be hosting an “I Am A Muslim Too” rally in New York City’s Time Square.

“Everyone except white privileged males are in immediate danger,” Simmons said in a press release. “African Americans, women, Latinos, Asians and LGBTQ are all at risk, but there is no freedom in that privileged status either because the spirit of the oppressor is oppressed as well. We are living in a time when unity will make America great. This is a special moment for all Americans of good will to band together to promote the kind of compassion and equality for others that we want for ourselves.”

The Def Jam co-founder will be joined by Rabbi Marc Schneier, president of the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding and Imam Shamsi Ali of the Jamaica Muslim Center.
