On this week’s episode of The Qasim Rashid Show:
A tribute to my beloved father, Abdur Rashid Yahya, who passed on March 28
An interview with Rep Mark Pocan (WI-2) on how Democrats must learn to fight
A discussion with renowned human rights lawyer
on climate justice, Palestinian rights, and protecting our democracy
You are a light in a very dark hour. Thank you.
Such a moving tribute to your Father. A life so full of honor, integrity, service, travel, education, faith and love.
His life of purpose and love of family was a life well lived.
I shed tears for your family’s loss, and in gratitude for the values he passed on to you, continuing service to humanity.
May that lesson be endless, and ongoing for generations to come.
Steven Donziger is a real profile in courage. Shame on Chevron and its lawyers for torturing him. That was a great dialogue.
I am proud to stand with you Qasim Rashim! Thank you✨
Thanks AnaMarie
Such an extraordinary tribute to your Father - thank you for sharing with us. He lives on in your life’s mission, and continues to watch over you and the family.
I also appreciated the interviews with ‘my’ congressman, Mark Pocan, and with attorney Steven Donziger (i confess i had never heard of the latter - what an extraordinary son he raised).
Thank you Rita.
Thank you for a wonderfully informative podcast
