On Sunday morning, I watched a report on a local news station about an organization called Philly Sound Exchange, which brings together young students from both the city of Philadelphia and its surrounding suburbs and attempts to unite them in their passion for music.

Mohammed Al-Samawi, the founder and director of the Abrahamic House at Dupont Circle in Washington, DC, wrote an article for the Interfaith America website about the work of their organization, which gives people of different faiths an opportunity to be roommates and do work for the local community, promoting religious pluralism and tolerance.
In the article, he describes how over the last couple of years, the residents, a Catholic architect, a Muslim student from Afghanistan, and a Jewish journalist, have lived in the same building, hosting over fifty events bringing people of different religious traditions together.

On March 24, 2025, there was an interfaith Iftar meal held in the Main Rotunda of the State Capitol building in Harrisburg, PA. The Iftar meal breaks the day-long fast Muslims do during the holy month of Ramadan where they abstain from eating, drinking, and other things from the morning prayer until the evening prayer.
According to reports, it was the first time an Iftar meal was hosted at Pennsylvania's State Capitol building.
The event brought together leaders and people of various faiths and included members of different political parties.
