GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT
Our Governmental Affairs Department seeks to organize, mobilize, and empower 
Washington's Muslim community with long-term civic engagement. Its educational initiatives help community members understand the political system and utilize it to work for their issues. Projects include voter registration drives, community workshops, "know your rights" educational campaigns, and "civic engagement" training sessions at mosques and community centers on how to contact and engage local and national politicians. The department also systematically works to educate local political representatives at all levels of government about their Muslim constituents while ultimately engaging these representatives with the Muslim community's unique issues and concerns.
