Farewell 2019!

Dear everyone,

Thank you for your past support of Muslims for Progressive Values.  We know there are many good causes to give to, and we hope ours will be one of your choices before 2019 ends! 

MPV is made up of one full-time, 2 part-time staff  and dedicated volunteers, and here's a summary of what we accomplished together in 2019: 

  1. Politics: Progressive political candidates reached out to us for advice on issues they should be paying attention to.
  2. UN: Co-organized and spoke at 6 UN side events supporting the rights of women and girls, LGBTQI+ inclusion, and Freedom of Religion and Belief
  3. Community: Our chapters held 160+ gatherings.
  4. Social Media: Grew our social media communities to 46,000+ people who talk with us about progressive Islam online. 
  5. LGBTQI+ Inclusion: Participated in Pride Weekend in 7 cities around the US. MPV also built and led a coalition of 12 Muslim organizations in supporting civil rights protections for LGBTQ+ employees.
  6. Women’s Rights: Participated in Women’s Marches in 3 cities and advocated for women’s full sexual and reproductive autonomy through coalition work.  We also raised the profile of FGM/C in media by over 312 million views.
  7. #ImamsForShe: Completed our 4th year of operations in Burundi and expanded to Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda.
  8. #ClubsForShe: Expanded programming in Burundi and trained 750 women in entrepreneurial skills.
  9. Culture: Co-sponsored over 10 film festival screenings on progressive Islam, including at the Cannes Film Festival.
  10. Interfaith Work: Held 20+ interfaith community events with Jewish, Hindu, and Christian progressive communities.

We are an incredibly efficient team! Rest assured your financial support will not go to unnecessary overhead expenses. Together, we can do so much more to create a culture rooted in human rights. Please make a gift today to support vibrant progressive communities in the New Year and beyond. 

And! Here's an interview of me at the Facebook Studio in Washington DC.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Happy Kwanza, Seasons Greetings and a wonderful, happy and healthy 2020!

Warmly,
