Take it from Rep. Andre Carson - we’re more than just a face for American Muslims. For over thirty years we have made a name for ourselves by creating opportunities to not only improve policies and perceptions for American Muslims, but also elevate our community. Our annual Empowering Voices Awards brings together the nation's most influential advocates to celebrate causes and individuals who have worked with us to champion the American and Islamic values of freedom, justice, and equality for all. This year’s event is not to be missed. For information & tickets, visit: mpac.org/ev

Creating Better, More Accurate Stories about Muslims and Islam

On May 24, 2019 By MPAC

Diversity and inclusion are growing within Hollywood and efforts to create better, more accurate stories are now coming from the entertainment industry itself. We’ve been asked to consult on a wide range of projects; from groundbreaking ones like Coca-Cola’s Superbowl commercial to controversial TV shows like FX’s Tyrant. But, our work is nowhere near done. Problematic and stereotypical portrayals of Muslims still exist. Law and Order: SVU, NCIS, and Homeland are just a few examples of shows where we can spread our influence and expertise.
