Two of the seven candidates supported by the non-profit Project Mobilize won their races in municipal elections April 5. Project M views the election as an important first step to get the Muslim American community more involved in local politics.
Election Day is finally here…don’t let your voice go unheard! People around the world are dying for the right to express themselves politically. Don’t let your vote go to waste!
Pull your family, friends, and neighbors to the polls to make sure you are part of decision-making at the local level.
When it started last year, the non-profit group Project Mobilize, or Project M, hoped to change the political landscape in suburban Chicago by promoting Muslim Americans as election candidates. So far, there are no Muslim Americans serving as elected officials in the Chicago area. But Project M hopes that will change in municipal elections April 5.
Project M Director Reema Ahmad will discuss the importance of elections this upcoming Tuesday, April 5th. Listen live TODAY at noon on 750AM in Chicago.
