Ramadan Mubarak, Friend!

As we enter into the most important season for American Muslims, I want to wish you and your family a joyous Ramadan!

What a difference a year makes.

The past year has tested our resilience in countless ways. While so many of us continue to wrestle with isolation, joblessness and personal loss, we also have more reasons to be hopeful — with a new administration and an end to the COVID pandemic possibly in sight.

Here at Muslim Advocates, we’re seizing this moment of possibility to advance the rights of American Muslims and all people in important new ways. For example, we’re:

• Preventing the Muslim Ban from ever happening again by getting the NO BAN Act passed through Congress and signed into law.
   
• Pressuring tech companies to finally remove anti-Muslim hate that proliferates on their platforms by bringing a landmark lawsuit against Facebook.
   
• Holding law enforcement accountable by collaborating with partners in Chicago to get anti-Muslim police union president John Catanzara fired, as well as working with the family of Muhammad Muhaymin Jr. to get justice for his killing by Phoenix police.
   
• Advocating to the Biden Administration to dismantle Trump-era immigration abuses like denaturalization, which was weaponized to strip naturalized Americans of color of their citizenship.
   
• Ensuring that American Muslims can live free from discrimination by helping the Muslim community in Indiana build a community center despite bigoted opposition and suing a Virginia prison for its cruel treatment of incarcerated Muslims.

But we need your help to keep doing this work. For zakat-eligible charities like ours, Ramadan is the most important time of the year for fundraising.

Will you renew your support this Ramadan?
 

Ramadan is the season for giving and, throughout the month, you’ll hear stories from Muslim Advocates’ clients, staff and board members about what drives them to give to this work.

Change is never easy, but this past year has reminded us that it’s possible. Now is our time to build an America that lives up to its ideals.

And we are thankful for the chance to do that with you.

With Gratitude,
