Happy New Year & Our December Newsletter

Salaam, and welcome to our December 2019 newsletter! Here's what we were up to this month:

American Muslim Health Professionals’ 15th Anniversary Gala​
Poligon was honored to be joining AMHP for their milestone celebration. The Gala’s theme focused on strengthening the impact of Muslim health professionals to improve the health and wellness of all Americans. We were proud to collaborate with them on their advocacy toolkit.

Impeachment Guide​
The House voted to impeach President Trump, making him the third U.S. President to be impeached. The first article: abuse of power, was passed with 230-197 votes and the second article: obstruction of Congress, was passed with a vote of 229-198. Click here to view our step-by-step guide to understanding the impeachment process.

Action Alerts
Congress is on Recess from Friday, December 20th until Sunday, January 5th. Poligon sent an action alert for winter recess when Members will be in their home districts.

Hill Happenings
We've been keeping you up-to-date on the latest from Capitol Hill with our Hill Happenings going straight to your inboxes every Friday.

In the news:
Poligon President, Wardah Khalid, weighed in on the House’s impeachment of President Donald Trump and discusses how removing him from office will not solve the deeper problems facing Arab and Muslim Americans. Read more about her remarks here on Middle East Eye.

Happy New Year!​
As we approach the end of the year and prepare for 2020, the Poligon Team would like to send our sincere thanks for all your ongoing support. Together, we were able to make meaningful progress in helping Muslim Americans engage with their representatives. Click to watch a recap of all the accomplishments we achieved with your support in 2019! In the new year, we will work even harder to increase Muslim Americans’ engagement on Capitol Hill. Help us achieve this critical goal with an end-of-the-year tax deductible donation to Poligon.

Thank you for your support as we continue to help amplify the American Muslim voices in Congress. 

Stay active, Poligon team
