Civic Engagement
Democracy includes voting and running for office and everything in between. RISE is demystifying the democratic process for Muslim women to participate. We are engaging a web of Muslim women to influence public policy, deepen relationships with legislators, and hold elected officials accountable through active participation in the political process.
You'll see us at the MN State Capitol every year advocating for issues important to our Sisterhood. In the past, we've passed bills supporting survivors of sexual violence, bringing income support to low income families, and more.
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.
Reviving Sisterhood believes in working toward collective liberation in coalition with other organizations, groups, and communities. Our partners and collaborators are Muslim, BIPOC, women, and other marginalized communities, fighting together to end Islamophobia, racism, and sexism.
Each election year, we engage our community members in values-based voter education and outreach. This includes the creation of candidate report cards to help our community explore where candidates stand on different issues.
