Assalamu alaikum Friends,

I hope you all are safe and healthy. Tonight is the 27th night of Ramadan, a night that is said to be better than 1,000 months. As we approach this sacred night, I want to share some reflections about our journey so far together. 

This picture was taken in 2015, before Poligon had launched. I had just arrived in D.C. and was working at a Quaker lobby on Middle East policy. I admired that their small community of less than 75,000 people could have such a massive impact on Capitol Hill and wondered: why couldn’t my community of 3.5-8 million American Muslims have a similar impact? We had sat on the sidelines for far too long. 

I soon began delivering trainings to Muslim groups with the information I gleaned on how to conduct office visits, town hall meetings, and phone calls with one’s representatives. In 2017, after recruiting a team of motivated young professionals to help bring my vision to life, Poligon launched with the support of so many people like you. Since then, our team has used that same training to educate thousands of Muslims across the country (and the world).

I share this story to demonstrate what a massive impact you have made in helping me realize my dream to empower and educate our community to engage in the policy making process. I am so grateful because without your prayers, well wishes, and monetary support, Poligon might still just be a dream today. 

This Ramadan, on this blessed night, I encourage you to give generously to keep that dream going. We have so much left to accomplish in ensuring American Muslim voices are heard loud and clear in Congress. Will you invest in this dream by making a donation of $100 or more today? Your donation is zakat-eligible and tax-deductible.

Thank you in advance for your support, and keep dreaming big!

 

Stay active,
