Muslim-Jewish Advisory Council Anthem: What we Stand For
Muslims and Jews are diverse communities and both are essential threads in the social fabric of the United States. When some would seek to emphasize differences, the Muslim-Jewish Advisory Council is a civil society coalition bringing Muslims and Jews together to strengthen the democratic values and freedoms for all Americans.
Muslim-Jewish Advisory Council Responds to Hate with Solidarity
Hate against religious minorities is increased in America and it can make communities feel alone and afraid. The Muslim-Jewish Advisory Council is a civil society coalition bringing communities together to stand in solidarity against hate and advocate to protect people of all backgrounds. The United States was founded on freedom of religion and we are working together to protect that freedom and all.
Why do Muslims and Jews Work Together?
In 2016 Muslims and Jews of diverse professional, religious, ethnic and political backgrounds came together to highlight our common share and common responsibility in American public life and to work together to push back against the rising tide of hate. Meet some of the members and why they joined.
