Representation matters. ✊🏾✊🏽✊🏿✊🏼 That’s why our programs seek to place American Muslims in positions of power in policy, media, law, and more.
 
But we know the advancement of American Muslims must parallel the advancement of other marginalized populations. We’re dedicated to representation, but with principle. Our inclusion cannot be based on our compromised humanity or on the backs of other communities.

Our response to Wednesday's events at the Capitol: Our response to Wednesday's events at the Capitol:

"We all watched in horror as what happened on Capitol Hill unfolded in real time. It was shocking, yet not completely surprising for those of us who have been the target of white supremacy since this country’s founding.
 
As we have been reminded over and over again this past year and decades prior, the importance of our work cannot be understated. Diversifying voices in power and increasing representation in media and policy are of utmost importance. There is a critical need for the public to better understand systemic racism and prejudice and to create avenues to justice and equity for all people, not just one particular population.

Our organization and scholars are paving the way for change to happen, but it takes all of our efforts to make a sustainable difference."
