Dear John,

Earlier this week, I stood alongside Jewish, Muslim, and interfaith leaders in a gathering on Capitol Hill that felt urgent yet long overdue.

This wasn’t a hearing or a press conference. It was a moment of shared reflection among community members, congressional staff, faith leaders, and advocates, on the rising tide of antisemitism and Islamophobia, and on what Congress and civil society must do to confront it.

It was the result of months of quiet, determined work. And it was made possible by people like you.

We organized this event in partnership with the J
ewish Council for Public Affairs, the Interfaith Alliance, and Union Theological Seminary, with support from Representatives Jamie Raskin and Lateefah Simon, who both offered heartfelt reflections. But the conversation wasn’t just about policy; it was about principle. What does it mean to protect democracy when communities are targeted? What does solidarity actually look like when fear and scapegoating are on the rise?

MPAC is committed to answering those questions not with statements, but with action. But we can’t do that without your support.

What I saw yesterday reminded me that we are not powerless. We are not isolated. And we are not starting from scratch. There is a growing network of people, across faiths and across institutions, who are ready to speak up and stand together.

This kind of work doesn’t happen overnight. It takes trust, consistency, and a deep commitment to justice. That’s what MPAC is building, not just in moments like yesterday, but every day we show up on the Hill, meet with decision-makers, engage the media, and push for policies that reflect our values.

We need your support to keep going.

If we want to protect civil rights, defend democratic values, and ensure that American Muslims are not sidelined in national conversations, we need to invest in that future together.

Thank you for standing with us.

In Service,

Salam Al-Marayati
