We ask you to join us. We invite all members of the Seattle community to participate, regardless of political stance, religious affiliation, etc. We do ask that all participants respect the principles we are organizing around:Center the voices of Muslim communities.

Avoid “Not all Muslim” type arguments- people deserve respect solely on the basis of their personhood. We don’t want to contribute to the idea that marginalized folks need to prove themselves first.
