IBRAHIM ABDIL-MU'ID RAMEY:
AN APPRECIATION
(May Allah ta'Ala forgive him all his sins and grant him the highest of Jannah)

by Matt Meyer

Ibrahim Abdil-Mu'id Ramey (Clayton), who passed away yesterday, Friday, 11th of December 2015, was a dynamic speaker, fine writer, and keen strategic thinker – but he devoted most of his adult life to the “simple” task of fighting for people’s dignity and basic human rights. There was nothing shy about Ibrahim, but he was a generally humble and unassuming man, never thinking of himself as great though surely self-aware of his abundant organizing skills. He played central roles on the international and national levels, as an early leader of the Pan-African Skills Project in the 1970s, as a national program officer of both the War Resisters League and the Fellowship of Reconciliation, as a Board member of the Central Committee for Conscientious Objectors and the American Friends Service Committee, and finally as an extraordinary leader of the Muslim community in Washington DC.

The world stage has lost a shining light and WRL has lost a dear friend. We mourn the death April 10 at the age of 88  of legendary pacifist actor-director Judith Malina, co-founder of the Living Theater. She was 88.
