One of the things that would be really useful is for communities to have a sense of security. If communities feel safe, they can have different conversations, complicated conversations about the identity that the community is converging around, whether it's religious, whether it's racial, or whether it's professional. Right now, for Muslims, it is really difficult to have difficult conversations within the community when people feel that they're under siege, under attack, and that they're unprotected from those attacks. Having policies, having an action plan that makes communities feel that they're important, that we value them, and that we are here to protect them will cultivate those kinds of conversations internally.
