This guide is part of the MPAC's broader counter-terrorism and civil rights campaign and is intended for Imams, Muslim community leaders, law enforcement, and the media.

The Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) is a policy advocacy organization which seeks to inform and shape public opinion and policy by serving as a trusted resource to decision makers in government and policy institutions.

In the aftermath of September 11, MPAC was inundated with reports of hate crimes/incidents and discrimination, prompting the need to specialize in victim assistance.

MPAC's Hollywood Bureau serves as a bridge between the Muslim community and the entertainment industry.

"Truth over Fear: Countering Islamophobia" is a workshop and training session to empower local communities with crucial tools to counter Islamophobia in a proactive and constructive manner.

Give us three hours and we'll give you inspiring knowledge on how to promote civic engagement from an Islamic perspective with members of your community and MUCH more!

MPAC's Summits in DC, NYC & LA provide young leaders exposure to the inner workings of government, media & Hollywood, and simultaneously provide government officials, media experts & entertainment professionals with the opportunity to learn what's on the minds of young Muslim Americans.

Interfaith work goes to the core of our mission. One of our core teachings as Muslims is that God created us in "nations and tribes so that [we] might know one another" and so that we might "vie in doing good deeds." We are committed to working with people of all faith backgrounds to promote our shared values of mercy, justice, mutual understanding, and helping the most vulnerable among us.
