MPAC on Capitol Hill
The MPAC National Office in Washington DC serves as the primary interface between the American Muslim community and US Government officials. MPAC works closely with the departments of State, Treasury, Homeland Security and the White House to offer guidance in both action and analysis on issues that affect our country and its Muslims.
MPAC is committed to working with Americans from all ends of the spectrum to offer a nuanced and intelligent contribution to domestic and foreign policy issues. Through our partnerships and coalitions with civil rights groups, think tanks, community and policy institutions we hope to create solutions that are viable and relevant to our country's progress.
In the past year, MPAC DC has met with Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, Undersecretary for Public Diplomacy Karen Hughes, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, FBI Assistant Director John Pistole and Mike Doran of the National Security Council. MPAC DC officials are frequently invited for briefings to senior staff at the State Department, US Agency for International Development and the United Nations. MPAC was a central player in the aftermath of the cartoon crisis serving as a liaison between the US and Danish governments.
