To whom this may concern,


We hope this email finds you and yours well. 


Please join the DSA Muslim Caucus for its 2nd general meeting by signing up here: tinyurl.com/DSAMuslimsCaucus.


We are reaching out as the steering committee of the newly founded DSA Muslim Solidarity Caucus. Earlier this summer, a group of Democratic Socialist Muslims began organizing together more closely in an effort to contribute to the dismantling of white supremacy and racial capitalism upon which our country was built. We aim to disavow American exceptionalism whilst extending our solidarity to comrades across the globe working toward dismantling analogous and parallel structures of oppression. We affirm that no single movement can fully encapsulate all of the streams and colors of Muslims in this country. We do not claim to represent all Muslims, as that is neither feasible nor desirable. We do, however, aim to forge a space for Muslims of any and every background to join us in learning, discussing, and theorizing what a Muslim socialist politics and liberation praxis might look like. 


Thus, we are reaching out to your local chapter in order to ask for your help in recruiting more Muslim DSA members from across the states to help us build a more powerful and egalitarian Muslim organizing space. We are hosting a general interest meeting on September 26th at 2pm EST/1PM CST/ 12PM MST/ 11AM PST. We really appreciate any solidarity you may be able to offer us and please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions. 







In solidarity,


DSA Muslim Caucus Steering Committee
