About This Cause
WHO WE ARE The Muslim Civic Coalition was founded to focus on civic engagement We are Rooted in Illinois and Impacting the Nation. We are activists, influencers, and organizations - of all races, faiths, and backgrounds. The Muslim Civic Coalition convenes, collaborates, and amplifies social and civic efforts with diverse and underrepresented races, faiths, and communities. We do this for our communities through 6 integrated initiatives that drive us towards Equity and Civic Justice. *Advocacy and Policy: this initiative works to identify, collaborate and lead on policies that build equity and social/civic justice for vulnerable communities. *Voter Engagement & Turnout : This initiative ensures those who are citizens are registered and turn out to vote. We educate, facilitate, and empower residents in key counties - so they have a voice in choosing their elected officials. *Census and Redistricting: this initiative ensures all residents are counted and that resources and representation are equitable. *Engage & Impact: this initiative is a non-partisan civic engagement program that conducts forums, tours and briefings between public officials and community organizations, activists, influencers, businesses, residents, and voters to discuss key issues, identify needed policies, and find ways to collaborate and amplify the work of local community organizations. *Civic Leadership and Capacity Building: this initiative provides workshops and fellowships to strengthen the skills of our civic leaders, policy makers, campaign staff, election workers and candidates. *Illinois Muslims Report: this initiative aims to quantify demographic, financial, charitable, professional, and issues data to effectively understand and advocate for a community that has been rendered unknown and marginalized by this invisibility. The Coalition is the convener for this statewide collaboration.
