Dear Friend,
As we near the end of Ramadan, I want to share an update on how Muslim Advocates has been using our policy, advocacy, and legal expertise to meet the emergency needs of our communities and to protect your civil rights. This work is possible because of the generous support of donors like you. [[link removed]]
Since the onset of COVID-19 and the beginning of Ramadan, we are:
*
Defending
the
rights
of
vulnerable
Muslims

prison
by
holding

prison
systems
accountable
for
protecting
their
safety
and
religious
freedom;

*
Helping
mosques
and
nonprofits
keep
their
doors
open
through
education
about
the
federal
loan
programs
under
the
CARES
Act;

*
Ensuring
that
your
online
events
are
not
disrupted

to
tighten
the
security
of
their
platform;

Enabling
charities

ride
credits;

Muslims

this
challenging
time;

Bringing
