MPower launches #AboutUsWithoutUs to engage Muslim community in primary; hold candidates accountable

EDIT: Note, the name of the org is Mpower Change, but I had to shorten it to fit the title.

This election cycle has seen an unprecedented amount of attention focused on Islam, Muslims, and Muslim communities. We've heard outright bigotry and calls for all sorts of terrible policies directed at Muslims.

But one thing has been missing—our own voices. It's time for that to change.

Every day that we don't speak up, someone else gets to define what it means to be Muslim in America today. That's why we're launching an unprecedented national campaign—to make sure that the stories of Muslims and Muslim communities are heard loud and clear.

No longer will this election be #aboutuswithoutus.
