A powerful voice representing Michigan’s 13th Congressional District, in 2018 Representative Rashida Tlaib and her colleague Representative Ilhan Omar were the first two Muslim women ever elected to the U.S. Congress, and they have not shied away from speaking up for our communities. Rashida knows that progress requires an all-out approach, fighting in the community and in the legislature every day against injustice and inequality, so that every single person in this country has a chance to thrive.

On November 25, 2019 By MPAC
Yusef Salaam was only 15 years old when he was sentenced to prison for a crime he didn’t commit. The #CentralParkFive were innocent, but they were profiled, coerced, and convicted to feed and illustrate a narrative of fear about their communities. Exonerated 12 years later, Dr. Salaam transformed tragedy into advocacy and despair into hope.

The Avelica-Gonzalez’s are a Mexican-American Catholic family from Los Angeles, and the Jamals are a Bangladeshi-American Muslim family from Lawrence, Kansas. Romulo Avelica-Gonzalez and Syed Jamal have each lived in this country for over 25 years, their children are U.S.-born citizens, and both fathers were detained by ICE in the process of taking their daughters to school. Both cases roused allies and entire communities to advocate for their release, showing that political and community pressure works, and works most effectively when both sides advocate together. In a panel with immigration attorneys and activists, these two courageous fathers will inform us about how we can support and advocate for those currently detained or under threat of detention as we work toward a more just American immigration policy.
