As we gather on this day of Thanksgiving to break bread with our loved ones, we're grateful for you, our supporters and allies, for working with us as we build a better nation.
“God does not change the condition of a people until they change their own condition” (13:11)
Dr. Yusef Salaam and I both reflected on this verse during our annual Convention; it truly is our responsibility as American Muslims to take proactive steps for social change for every American. This message was echoed by Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib and Jose Antonio Vargas, our other distinguished keynote speakers. Representing the Black, Arab, Undocumented, LGBQT+, and LatinX communities, each of them underscored the importance of the intersectionality of our common causes.
This is our country. Let’s take ownership for its future.

The Convention was just one step -- we must keep moving forward, together, in pursuit of justice and equity. Your support is not only appreciated but is what inspires us to keep doing this work.
Thank you!
In service,
Salam Al-Marayati
P.S Don't forget, #GivingTuesday is coming up next week on December 3rd!
