Ramadan Mubarak Friend,

It’s officially been two months since I joined the Muslim Advocates team as a staff attorney, and I’m exhausted in the best way.

I have already helped file a lawsuit against one of the world’s largest corporations, Facebook, for its role in promoting anti-Muslim violence; and thats just the beginning. In just the past couple of months we’ve:

• Sued the Virginia Department of Corrections for hiding its mistreatment of Muslim prisoners during Ramadan. 
• Worked with the family of Muhammad Muhaymin Jr. to draw national attention to how the government is denying them justice for the police killing of their brother and father.
• Led the passage of the first Muslim civil rights bill, the NO BAN Act, in the House of Representatives.
• Agitated to ensure that the Biden Administration kept its word to restore refugee admissions.

This team does not quit but we need you to make this all possible. Will you be a part of our team?

I came to Muslim Advocates from the for-profit sector because I wanted to make a difference in the lives of Muslims and all Americans. I was drawn to Muslim Advocates because it’s unquestionably progressive and fights for the rights of all. On the horizon are actions centering Muslim with disabilities, Ahmadiyya Muslims, and Black Muslims. 

We do this because it’s the right thing to do and because it needs to be done. We’re working to redefine what Muslim advocacy can be and daring the United States to honor the rights and dignity of all of us, regardless of our race, sex, ethnicity, language, ability, sexual orientation, gender identity, sect, or practice. 

But it doesn’t happen without the support of donors. As we enter the last few days of Ramadan, I’m asking you to support our work, whether you’re Muslim or not. We’re zakat-eligible and tax deductible, and we need your support to keep doing this important work.

Will you support us this Ramadan?

Thank you,

Sanaa Ansari
