Dear Friend,
15 years ago, we founded Muslim Advocates to take on any challenge that stands in the way of American Muslims living free of hate and discrimination. Next week, we’ll be celebrating leaders across the country who exemplify this commitment to justice during this historic year.
Join me next Wednesday, October 14th, at 7pm ET for this unforgettable virtual event celebrating the Muslims Making Change in 2020 >> [[link removed]]
