Our vision is to be a leading advocate for justice and
mutual understanding.
Our mission is to protect civil liberties, empower
American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote
justice and mutual understanding.
Through legal representation, education, media
relations, and advocacy, we empower the American
Muslim community and encourage their participation
in political and social activism. We counsel, mediate,
and advocate on behalf of Muslims and others who
have experienced discrimination, harassment, or hate
crimes. Our lawyers work to protect and defend the
constitutional rights of American Muslims, thereby
supporting the rights of all Americans.
