Our mission is to empower Muslim women by providing them with the skills and training necessary for self advocacy, leadership and economic security. To advocate for Islam and Muslims by promoting an accurate understanding of the faith, to encourage dialogue amongst all people, to protect civil liberties and to build relationships and coalitions that work for justice, harmony, peace and understanding.

We believe ...

In upholding the dignity of every human being
Diversity in race and ideology is a source of strength for our Country
Civil rights of all Americans must be protected regardless of faith
Building relations and establishing dialogue with individuals and institutions that advocate for justice and human rights
Most prejudice and hatred is a result of ignorance
