Salaam, 

 

Earlier this session, Congress introduced two resolutions to address the ongoing crisis in Burma, and we urge you to take immediate action! Our collective voice was instrumental in passing the BURMA Act; now we are asking for you to continue this work. Click here to have your voice heard!

 

Here are some recent Emgage Action highlights:

  • Emgage Florida attended Vice President Kamala Harris' sixth stop on her nationwide Fight for Our Freedoms College Tour last week. We were excited to see so many Muslim leaders and organizations in attendance.

  • We were pleased to sponsor MSA National's 60th Anniversary Gala. Organizing Director Mohamed Gula, Board Member Farrukh Shamsi, and members of our Emgage Texas team were thrilled to meet so many inspiring community members and young leaders. Mohamed also spoke at the Gala -- see the photo above!

  • Emgage attended the Win the Midwest convening; our Michigan Executive Director, Nada Al-Hanooti, was asked to join the stage to discuss recent victories in Michigan.

  • The Emgage Pennsylvania Emerging Leaders program this weekend was a huge success, bringing together up-and-coming Muslim leaders with our fantastic speakers.
