Our mission is to be the unifying federation of Islamic organizations of greater Chicagoland, the leading advocate of Muslim community interests and a catalyst for enriching American society.
One of the goals of the Civic Engagement Committee is to work with member organizations to host Advocacy training. This is an opportunity to meet with elected officials and work with national advocacy groups, like Poligon and ISPU.
