COMMUNITY ORGANIZING
What We Do
In 2016, we recognized a compelling need for a nationwide network of Muslim organizers dedicated to addressing the social and political challenges impacting American Muslims. A sharp rise in hate crimes, anti-Muslim racism, Gendered Islamophobia, and state violence amplified this need.
In response, we designed an intensive training program for a diverse network of Muslim organizers across the country. Our now annual cohort underscores the integral relationships between faith and social justice, highlighting the critical role of civic engagement, coalition building, and community care in allied social movements.
Our Impact
We have equipped organizers nationwide with the personal and organizational tools necessary to build political power firmly grounded in gender, racial, and ethnic justice, and deeply rooted in community. Providing strategies to tackle the unique challenges confronting American Muslim communities, and to counter interconnected oppressive systems.
Our Approach
Our organizing efforts employ a human-centered framework, drawing inspiration from historical narratives of resistance at the intersections of collective liberation, community care, justice, and future-making. We are unwavering in our commitment to envision and build a world in which every human can flourish. We are dedicated to forging alternative pathways that transform this vision into a tangible reality.
