American Muslim Empowerment Network
MAPS (Redmond based) established its pioneering American Muslim Empowerment Network in December 2016 to address the growing Islamophobia in our country, fulfill the mandate of justice in Islam, build coalitions to create positive change in society, and empower the American Muslim community. Since its creation, MAPS-AMEN has been on the frontlines of advocacy and activism and has made an impact not just locally, but across the state and even nationally!
MAPS-AMEN has been (1) educating our fellow Americans about Islam and their Muslim neighbors; (2) engaging friends and allies in combating Islamophobia and other forms of hate, bigotry and injustice; (3) encouraging positive changes in media; and (4) building future leaders of America. In its short existence, MAPS-AMEN has already spoken in over 200 venues; touched the lives of hundreds of thousands of our fellow Americans; built coalitions with local, regional and national partners; and received considerable media coverage, and recognition for its work .
Whether you are a person of faith or not, a political/business/community leader or not, an activist or not – we hope you will also get inspired and involved in fulfilling the AMEN vision of building bridges of understanding and unity to advocate for justice together!
