Dear John,

On a day when Muslims celebrated Eid Al-Adha, we at the Muslim Public Affairs Council marked this holy occasion by hosting our first-ever Eid prayer in the United States Capitol.

We appreciate the support of Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer and Congressman André Carson, who was in attendance. This could have only been done through our strong relationship with Congressional Leadership which allowed for an opportunity for members of our Congressional Leadership Development Program (CLDP) to have a place to celebrate Eid. MPAC, through the CLDP program, not only helps place passionate Muslim students into competitive internships in Congressional offices but also provides them with a stipend and housing.

Following this historic Eid Prayer, we presented our joint report with Emgage Action, The Double Standards of U.S. FTO vs. DTO Prosecution, in the United States Capitol. The report details the double standards of terrorism prosecution that have long existed and provides recommendations on how to effectively counter the threat of white supremacy, in the hopes of keeping Americans out of harm's way, and ensuring that Muslim communities are not unfairly and disproportionately targeted.

The Quran encourages us to build institutions. This marks another step in our multi-generational marathon. With your support and our collective efforts, this moment is a testament to how far we have come and how much more we can continue to achieve.
