How united is our community? Do we have the ability to make a difference? Establishing a united community requires time, responsible individuals, intense effort and collaboration. Aziz Purmul felt a duty to stand and build a united community when our nation stood divided. In 2016, Purmul established the “We Love Our Neighbors” project to bring communities together. He recognized that we cannot move forward as a community and reach our goals without creating the opportunity of reaching out to different groups, as well as being and feeling heard. Through “We Love Our Neighbors,” he has been able to connect churches, synagogues, mosques to promote understanding and mutual respect by learning about each other’s cultures, faiths and style of living.
