congressional hearing

On May 15, 2019 By MPAC

It is a historic moment and we're part of a historic conversation. On May 15th, 2019, our Board member, Omar Ricci, testified to the House Oversight Committee on the impact of white supremacy on Muslim communities. Our commitment to bettering the society that we live in is both a mandate of our faith, as well as our duty as American citizens. More can be done, and we're working to make it happen. Everyone in society has a role to play in countering white supremacy and the dangers it poses to our security.

Sen. Bernie Sanders grew up in a family that struggled to make ends meet every month. His Jewish heritage built his empathy for anyone who is victimized for their faith. We must do better for our common humanity. This is an excerpt from Sen. Sanders speech to Muslims following the terrorist attack in New Zealand.
