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 >>

I’m proud to announce our esteemed National Honorees:
 

Racial Justice

The Family of Muhammad Muhaymin Jr. | Arizona
For their efforts to get justice for Muhammad’s killing and for broader police reforms in Phoenix.

Sanaa Abrar | Washington, DC
For her advocacy against racist and xenophobic immigration policies affecting immigrant youth.

COVID-19 Relief

For creating the CIOGC Joint Task Force and advising Chicago area mosques on best practices to close and safely re-open during COVID pandemic.
