Dear John,
We just wrapped up MPAC’s first virtual and 29th Media Awards!
Without your support, our work would not be possible. We are proud to have recognized vital voices of courage and conscience that each play an integral role in shaping the narrative, perception, and understanding of Islam and American Muslims. Our honorees showcased that our work towards inclusion and authentic portrayals in TV & Film is making a real difference. A difference made possible by your continued support.
