This Ban Is Cruel. It Separates Families. Let’s Stop It — Together.

Videos
On June 5, 2025 By MPAC
Today, MPAC stood in solidarity at an emergency press conference led by Congresswoman Judy Chu, alongside Reps. Ilhan Omar, Pramila Jayapal, Don Beyer, Yassamin Ansari, Sylvia Garcia, and Jonathan Jackson, as well as our partners at JPAC, Emgage, NILC, and others to oppose Donald Trump’s renewed travel ban and call for urgent support of the #NoBanAct. This ban is cruel, unjust, and does nothing to make America safer. It tears families apart during life’s most critical moments — weddings, funerals, and births. We’ve passed this Act in the House twice before. We must do it again. 📞 Call your Member of Congress and urge them to co-sponsor the No Ban Act. Let’s stand together for justice, dignity, and the right to belong.

I Am Change: Harnessing Our Collective Power Through Community Organizing

Videos
On May 29, 2025 By MPAC
At a time when anti-Muslim hate and rhetoric are rising at alarming rates, our most pressing need is to organize American Muslim communities. MPAC, in partnership with LA vs Hate, hosted I Am Change: A Community Organizing Workshop, designed to help empower American Muslim communities with the knowledge and skills to influence public discourse, engage policymakers, preserve democracy, and promote a just society where the rights and security of all communities are protected. Free services and resources against hate and discrimination are available through LAvsHate.org and the hate reporting line at 2-1-1. We encourage anyone who has been a victim of hate to report incidents via these platforms, as these reports help identify patterns of behavior to help policymakers better understand how to address the increase in hate-fueled violence. ---------- Subscribe to MPAC's channel: http://bit.ly/MPACYouTube 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 Visit MPAC's website: http://mpac.org About the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) We improve public understanding and policies that impact American Muslims by engaging our government, media, and communities.

When Free Speech Was Attacked at UCLA

Videos
On April 30, 2025 By MPAC
One year ago, UCLA students were violently attacked for peacefully protesting in support of Palestine. Armed agitators assaulted them. Police stood by. And UCLA has still said nothing. We haven’t forgotten. We won’t be silent. It’s time for truth, justice, and accountability. #JusticeForUCLAStudents #FreeSpeech #PalestineSolidarity #AccountabilityNow #MPAC ---------- Subscribe to MPAC's channel: http://bit.ly/MPACYouTube 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 Visit MPAC's website: http://mpac.org About the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) We improve public understanding and policies that impact American Muslims by engaging our government, media, and communities.

No charges. No accountability.

On April 12, 2025 By MPAC
No charges. No accountability. UCLA students were violently attacked during a peaceful protest — and months later, the LA City Attorney still hasn’t acted. The statute of limitations expires this month. Justice can’t wait. 📣 Demand accountability now. #JusticeAtUCLA #ProtectTheProtest #FirstAmendment #MPAC ---------- Subscribe to MPAC's channel: http://bit.ly/MPACYouTube 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 Visit MPAC's website: http://mpac.org About the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) We improve public understanding and policies that impact American Muslims by engaging our government, media, and communities.
