Salaam,

 

On July 7, former President Trump said on the campaign trail in Iowa that he would bring back the Muslim Ban “even bigger than before” if he is elected to office. Such Islamophobic, incendiary rhetoric and threats are completely unacceptable and are a sign of what is at stake in the 2024 presidential election. It is vital that we drive voters to the polls in order to ensure that this Ban is never reinstated.

 

I promise you that Emgage Action will continue its crucially important work in mobilizing voters to help build a more just and equitable future – and I ask you please to join us on this mission.

 

Here are some recent highlights from Emgage, Emgage Action, and Emgage PAC:

  • I attended an Eid Al-Adha celebration at the home of Vice President Kamala Harris. Many thanks to the Vice President, Second Gentleman, and the El-Hibri Foundation for making this event possible!
  • We celebrated the swearing in of Dilawar Syed as the Deputy Administrator of the Small Business Administration. 
  • Emgage PAC New York Metro celebrated the official primary win of endorsee Yusef Salaam, who will join other endorsees on the ballot in the November general. For more information on all endorsees, click here.
