Let’s Be Honest: A Conversation with the African American Muslim Insight Council

Videos
On November 19, 2020 By MPAC
How can we better reflect a more inclusive Muslim experience within MPAC and the Muslim community? This question led to the formation of our African American Muslim Insight Council (AAMIC) which will advise MPAC on community engagement and social justice. This is the first of a series of conversations with council members on working together toward equity and social justice. Please ask your questions in the live stream chat window (if available), on social media with the hashtag #LetsBeHonest, or email insightcouncil@mpac.org. Learn more about AAMIC at http://mpac.org/insightcouncil. ---------- Subscribe to MPAC's channel: http://bit.ly/MPACYouTube Like MPAC on Facebook: http://fb.com/mpacnational Follow MPAC on Twitter: http://twitter.com/mpac_national Follow MPAC on Instagram: http://instagram.com/mpac_national Visit MPAC's website: http://mpac.org About the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) We improve public understanding and policies that impact American Muslims by engaging our government, media, and communities.

The Power of 1%

Videos
On October 31, 2020 By MPAC
In 2004, sitting President George Bush nearly lost re-election due to his massively unpopular War on Terror. The difference was one percent of Ohio voters. In 2020, our own percent can be the difference between a Trump coronation or a Biden reversal. ---------- Subscribe to MPAC's channel: http://bit.ly/MPACYouTube Like MPAC on Facebook: http://fb.com/mpacnational Follow MPAC on Twitter: http://twitter.com/mpac_national Follow MPAC on Instagram: http://instagram.com/mpac_national Follow MPAC on TikTok: tiktok.com/@mpacntl Visit MPAC's website: http://mpac.org About the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) We improve public understanding and policies that impact American Muslims by engaging our government, media, and communities.
