Accountability Roundtable
Accountability is important to us, and we intentionally create space for Muslim women to connect with their legislators and ask them about their work and commitment to our communities.
2026 Iftar with Electeds
Reviving Sisterhood’s annual Iftar with Electeds is a celebration and an opportunity for our sisters to break bread and talk policy with local elected officials. At our 2026 Iftar with Electeds, we were joined by state senators, state representatives, city council members, judges, and more. The conversations that begin at Iftar with Electeds can shape decisions, influence policies, and ensure that Muslim women's voices and priorities are part of the decision-making process.
