Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Emgage educates and mobilizes Muslim American voters in support of policies that enable our communities to thrive and democracy to flourish. We believe in collective action to protect our pluralistic democracy and seek to move the needle on issues that deeply impact Muslim communities, and reshape political narratives that have often sidelined our communities from participating in the political process.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Emgage educates and mobilizes Muslim American voters in support of policies that enable our communities to thrive and democracy to flourish.

  • In 2024, Emgage engaged voters across the country and provided educational and important information regarding how to register to vote, where to vote, and key dates for local, state, and federal elections. Our chapter teams trained young leaders in how to organize communities, engage policymakers, and to become effective public speakers. Emgage convened civic tables to improve information sharing and coordination among civic organizations. Emgage conducted town halls across our chapter states where we listened to our voters regarding their pressing issues, connected them to elected officials and experts, and shared educational information about the importance of civic engagement.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
