MPAC joins Leadership Conf. and Bend The Arc, Jewish Action in joint letter rejecting anti-Muslim bias against Dilawar Syed Nomination
August 12, 2021

Dilawar Syed targeted with anti-Muslim bias by Republican SBC staff to prevent nomination.
In partnership with over 200 National organizations, MPAC joins the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights along with Bend the Arc Jewish Action in a letter of support for Dilawar Syed to be nominated as Deputy Administrator of the Small Business Administration. The Senate Small Business Committee initially indicated approval by voice vote and then reversed it’s decision in the recorded vote. Citing a “technicality” at time of vote recording, an email circulated by Republican SBC staff has highlighted an alarming and unacceptable effort to weaponize faith. This un-American character assassination of Mr. Syed through anti-Muslim bias to undermine his exemplary qualifications must be called to account by SBC Leadership.
