Ramadan Mubarak from the Muslim Advocates team.
We wish peace and spiritual renewal to all of you who are observing this sacred month. As the scope of targeting from the current administration comes to light, we cannot shake the feeling that—while novel in some sinister ways—the systemic attack on the freedom and dignity of Black, African, Arab, Middle Eastern, Muslim, and South Asian communities is familiar. That truth can be discouraging. We are trying to draw strength from it. We take heart in the fact that our community and allies have fought so hard over the years. And we have made lasting contributions to the struggle for justice against odds that would seem insurmountable, but for the power of our collective voices and action.
We invite you to learn more about Muslim Advocates’ work this Ramadan. From pressuring carceral facilities to observe their constitutional obligations, to fighting for transparency about anti-Muslim targeting at the southern border, to collaborating with fearless partner organizations nationwide, we are unwavering in our commitment to building power, fighting systemic oppression, and to demanding shared wellbeing for all. Have a look at the resources below and share them widely; we hope they reach anyone who may need them.
