<P>As salaamu alaykum, —</P>
<P>I'm not going to be shy about this:</P>
<P><STRONG>There is nothing I love more than when our movements for justice
win.</STRONG></P>
<P>Repealing Trump's Muslim Ban, slamming Big Tech in the media, and scaring the
wits out of the far-right every time a Muslim uses their right-to-vote for a
better future. </P>
<P><STRONG>The only thing sweeter than that is making it all happen with MPower
Change members like you.</STRONG></P>
<P>I don't care if that sounds corny, it's absolutely true and we need your help
to keep winning. </P>
<P><STRONG><A

<P><STRONG>Since 2016, MPower Change members and our ally communities have been
building towards the kinds of wins we were able to witness this last
year. <BR></STRONG></P>
<P>In the first few weeks of 2021, President Biden ended the Muslim travel ban
on his very first day in office — and multiple news outlets name-checked MPower
Change as a key driver towards this historic moment.</P>
<P>We reshaped the conversation on the 20th anniversary of 9/11 with our
partners in the #BigTechSellsWar project — making major news headlines about how
Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have profited from the so-called "war on
terror." </P>
<P>We were a founding partner in the #FacebookWeNeedToTalk campaign which
successfully forced Facebook to step back from categorizing use of the words
"zionism" or "zionist" as hate speech.</P>
<P><STRONG>And that’s just the beginning—in recent weeks we've
also:</STRONG></P></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV>

<UL>
<LI>Our #FreeThemAll campaign successfully pressured ICE to release several
members of our community that have been unjustly detained;
<LI>Launched a #NoTechForApartheid open letter of support to Google and Amazon
workers who are protesting their companies' participation in a one billion
dollar contract with the Israeli government;
<LI>Launched #GazaIsPalestine with a People's inquiry, including
Representative Rashida Tlaib and activist Mohammed El-Kurd, on the May 2021
assault on, and ongoing siege, of Gaza;
<LI>Held our fifth annual National Muslim Voter Registration Day, laying the
groundwork for making 2022 a historic year for Muslim voter outreach and civic
engagement;
<LI>Joined CAIR and Demand Progress in helping tens of thousands of engaged
members contact their member of Congress, demanding we end the PATRIOT Act for
good;
<LI>Teamed up with Amnesty International and the Center For Constitutional
Rights in launching an ongoing campaign to #CloseGuantanamo before its 20th
anniversary in 2022, including a delivery action at the White House;
<LI>Directed MPower Change members, with the help of U.S. Campaign for
Palestinian Rights, Adalah, and others, to take action on vaccine apartheid
and medical apartheid, both as it impacts Palestinians and people across the
global south;
<LI>Inaugurated our second ever #DigitalRamadan, ensuring we can still connect
online and build community even amidst a pandemic. </LI></UL>
<P>I think we're living in a paradoxical moment.</P>
<P>On one hand, we see real signs that things are changing: the narrative on
Israel and Palestine is changing in public consciousness and in the media.
Troops are being withdrawn from Afghanistan, effectively ending a two decade
long U.S. military occupation. Unapologetic Muslims and progressives are
building political power in places where it was once thought to be
unimaginable. </P>
<P>But on the other hand, the human toll of our existing struggles only
continues to grow: from Gaza, to marginalized communities targeted by racist
cops and incarceration, to those facing the harshest price of vaccine inequity
and climate injustice.</P>

know we need to step it up in every direction and that's exactly what we plan to
do — b</STRONG><STRONG>ut we can't get there without you.</STRONG></A></P>
<P><STRONG>With your support, 2022 will be a defining year for MPower Change.
</STRONG></P>
<P>We plan to grow our presence on Capitol Hill, lobbying daily to law-makers
and ensuring Muslim, Black, and brown communities' needs are
represented. </P>
<P>We are already in the works with starting our very first MPower Changemakers
school — a leadership development program for young Muslim organizers to get
skilled up into the leaders we desperately need.</P>
