Daily News | Khalif Mujahid-Ali, a devoted anti-violence advocate, has died at age 60
“His whole philosophy was, show up. He would say, ‘I don’t want your money, I want your support. This work can’t be territorial, we have to work together,’” said friend and confidant Natasha McGlynn, executive director of the Anti-Violence Partnership of Philadelphia.
Mujahid-Ali personally knew the pain wrought by gun violence — in 2009, his sister Tara Monique Brooks was fatally shot. “You can’t walk in our house and tell us how to fix it,” he told The Inquirer. “We’re gonna tell you how to fix it.” Rhynhart’s campaign manager, Kellan White, added: “He just cared in a way that was so authentic. He took every homicide personally. Whether it was Northeast Philly, Center City, Southwest, Black, white, Hispanic, Asian, didn’t matter to him. It was all a disease that was warping our city in a way that was unacceptable to him.”
