Why We Focus on Our Program Areas
ISF empowers voices that often go unheard. By concentrating our efforts on specific program areas, we ensure that our impact is deep, meaningful, and transformative.
Film
In the top 100 US films from 2017–2019, Muslims represented only 1.1% of characters. ISF's commitment spotlights the Muslim narratives and voices that the mainstream often overlooks.
Law
40% of the US population are people of color, but only 10% of associated attorneys are of color.
Media
In local TV news, only 26.6% are people of color, and a significantly lower percentage are Muslim.
Policy
An estimated 1–3% of the US population is Muslim, but only 0.5% of members of Congress are Muslim.
