PACE (Public Affairs & Civic Engagement) 

 

Political Empowerment

Our focus is to educate and mobilize the Muslim American community to be active participants of democracy and be civically engaged.

Develop Leaders

Our training and workshops are designed to contribute to the growth of the individual and the benefit of the society by investing in people and their communities.

Build Community Power

We center communities most impacted by injustice as we invest in building people power from the ground up and translating that to real social change.

Who Are We?

The Muslim American community has been an integral part of the American story since the nation’s earliest days. Rooted in a rich and diverse history, our community continues to grow in strength, contribution, and civic presence. Guided by this legacy, we envision an inclusive America where every person is treated with dignity, respect, and justice.

Founded in 2012, MAS PACE works to engage and empower Muslim communities across the United States to actively participate in creating positive social change. We serve as a hub for advocacy, community organizing, public affairs, and leadership development, centering the voices and experiences of Muslim Americans.

MAS PACE is a division of the Muslim American Society (MAS), a national grassroots organization committed to nurturing principled, engaged, and values-driven leaders who work for the betterment of society.

We’re Committed To:

Mobalize for Change

MAS PACE is the civic engagement and public advocacy arm of the Muslim American Society. We work to uplift the voices, leadership, and visibility of Muslim Americans across the country. With more than 50 MAS chapters nationwide, MAS PACE builds local and national pathways for Muslims to engage in meaningful social and political change.

Our work centers on developing informed, values-driven leaders who are committed to justice, equity, and active participation in our democracy.

Advocacy

MAS PACE advances bold and principled advocacy by organizing National Capitol Advocacy Days, building strong coalitions, and engaging policymakers on issues that impact our communities. We believe effective advocacy begins with education and is strengthened through collective action.

Civic Engagement

We work year-round to build an educated, engaged, and motivated Muslim electorate. Through local and national initiatives, MAS PACE promotes voter education, voter registration, and sustained civic participation to ensure Muslim voices are represented at every level.

Political Empowerment

A healthy democracy depends on full participation. MAS PACE empowers Muslim communities to engage confidently in the political process by fostering civic awareness, increasing voter turnout, and strengthening community leadership. Together, we work toward fair representation and policies that reflect our values.

Own Narrative

We are the authors of our own stories. MAS PACE works on curating spaces and developing relationships where we take charge of our own stories as a Muslim community and build a positive values-based narrative that centers our diverse Muslim population.

Social Justice

Justice is at the heart of our work. MAS PACE stands firmly against injustice and works toward a more equitable society. We support racial justice, immigrant rights, family unity, and policies that uphold human dignity. We invite you to stand with us as we work toward a future rooted in justice and compassion.
