UPCOMING EVENTS
Poligon’s Board President, Wardah Khalid joined a panel of change makers, addressing the policy ramifications that followed the 9/11 attacks, including the PATRIOT Act. “Muslims are presumed guilty, until they’re proven innocent”, says Wardah. “It is no surprise that many Muslims struggle with mental health, as we’ve seen in recent studies. Muslims are twice as likely, compared to other faith groups, to have attempted suicide”.
This is why today, we take a moment of silence to honor the victims of the 9/11 attacks and hold space for those who continue to fall victims to post-9/11 violence. Watch the full video here.

🚨 WORKSHOP ALERT 🚨 Halal Advocacy Workshop
Why is YOUR advocacy important?
Advocacy ensures that people are able to:
✅ Have their voice heard on issues that are important to them
✅ Protect and promote their rights
✅ Have their views and wishes genuinely considered when decisions are being made about their lives
Every Muslim American in the United States should have affordable access to Halal foods. Unfortunately, without consistent advocacy, the needs of people of color are often forgotten. This workshop will showcase the requisite steps needed to ensure Muslim voices are heard and our needs are met!
REGISTER with @americanhalal_institute TODAY! Attendance is free.
Partners: American Halal Institute (@americanhalal_institute ), ICNA Relief (@icnareliefusa ), North American Islamic Trust, and Poligon Education Fund
