From organizing a legal symposium about legal threats facing our community at the UC Irvine School of Law and a policy forum on blasphemy and religious freedom at the Newseum, to collective action on the Muslim Ban and discussing guidelines on religious freedom with the Department of Justice, we brought people, communities, and organizations together to discuss how we can improve policies affecting American Muslims. came together last week to amplify the voices of all vulnerable communities asking for awareness and accountability in protecting our civic rights under this administration. If you haven’t been active yet, our 2017 Convention on Sunday, November 5th will empower you to move from spectator to participant in the fight for our democracy. Learn more mpac.org/convention

The 2017 MPAC Convention keynote speaker, Rev. Dr. William Barber, is a nationally renowned minister, political advocate, architect of the Moral Mondays Movement, and past president of the North Carolina NAACP. Under his leadership, the NAACP made immense progress combatting racial injustice in relation to incarceration, voting rights, and marriage equality. Rev. Dr. Barber spoke at the 2016 Democratic National Convention and electrified the crowd saying, “Jesus, a brown-skinned Palestinian Jew, called us to preach good news to the poor, the broken and the bruised and all those who are made to feel unaccepted.” Watch all videos from the 2017 MPAC Convention: http://bit.ly/2zI8KEF ---------- Subscribe to MPAC's channel: http://bit.ly/MPACYouTube Visit MPAC's website: http://mpac.org 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 --- About MPAC: MPAC improves public understanding and policies that impact American Muslims by engaging our government, media, and communities.
