In another powerful display of unity, The Muslim Alliance in North America (MANA) and The Black Muslim Leadership Council (BMLC) are coming together to host a second community town hall event focused on the pressing question, “What’s at stake in the 2024 election?” This collaborative effort aims to engage African-American Muslims in meaningful discussions surrounding political participation, civic engagement, and the impact of their voices in the upcoming election.
The first town hall took place May 31, 7-9 PM. The second will take place August 2, 7-9 PM and brings together a diverse panel of esteemed panelists, each offering unique perspectives and insights on the critical issues facing our communities. From policy advocacy to voter turnout, civic education, and leadership development, MANA and BMLC are committed to empowering African-American Muslims to take charge of their future and make their voices heard nationally.
The Black Muslim Leadership Council, a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, has been at the forefront of advocating for social justice, equity, and representation for Black Muslims across the country. Through their tireless efforts in policy advocacy and community engagement, BMLC has demonstrated a steadfast commitment to amplifying the voices of marginalized communities and driving positive change at the grassroots level.
