I hope this message finds you in the best of health and Iman during this unprecedented moment in our history.
First and foremost, I ask Allah (swt) to help us through this pandemic and overcome the trials it brings on an individual, community, and global level. We must trust in His infinite Wisdom and pray for his limitless Mercy.
Our thoughts and
prayers are with all those who have been afflicted by this illness. We also salute the warriors on the front lines: the doctors and healthcare workers working around the clock, at great risk to their health, to manage this crisis.
We are especially grateful for the thousands of Muslim American doctors and professionals who make up a proportionally significant percentage of the medical community and whose identity behind the mask is never a question in times like these.
When the pandemic has passed, we need to ensure that MLFA is there for when the masks come off and our American Muslim identity becomes a focus once
again.
Will you help sustain our mission through COVID-19?
Earlier this year, we had a vision to expand legal services in 2020. With the rapidly developing situation at hand, we have scaled back our initial goals and are focusing on maintaining operational status to ensure that we can manage current caseloads loads while utilizing donor funds efficiently and effectively.
MLFA has grounded its development staff and postponed events, in compliance with recommended precautions. That said, our work cannot stop now, and we are counting on our donor community to help sustain the critical work of justice through this uncharted time.
We need to hold where we are at, and make sure we are there when it’s over!
A few weeks ago, we launched the Sustainers for Justice Monthly Giving Program, and it is now more timely than ever to mobilize our supporters to
join this effort. Please consider becoming a Sustainer for Justicefor any amount you can pitch in monthly to ensure that the work of justice continues.
Don’t let this effort be a casualty of COVID-19.
We rely on donor funds to make the work of justice possible.
