Mission Statement
Our mission is to educate, collaborate, and amplify social and civic efforts with diverse races, faiths, and communities towards Civic Justice. Civic Justice means 1) laws are made for us and with us, 2) public officials understand us and look more like us, and 3) our data and stories drive action towards equity.
Description
The Muslim Civic Coalition (Coalition) is a partnership of hundreds of Activists, Influencers, and Organizations. Our mission is to convene, collaborate and amplify social and civic efforts toward an equitable and representative America. We seek to empower the voices of these often marginalized communities by working closely with changemakers and partnering with public elected officials who share our core values of inclusion, courageous leadership, and service.
To seize the opportunities before them and transform their current challenges, community members must be prepared to lead the charge. Our initiatives empower our constituents by giving them a voice and equipping them with the tools to effectively navigate and influence the legislative process to meet their needs. Our efforts reinforce the principle that the electoral process and elected officials are dedicated to serving the needs of our communities. By offering training, resources, and structured pathways to forge connections with elected officials and key stakeholders, we empower individuals to become influential advocates for change.
