Thank you so much for your generous support to ISPU’s Muslims for American Progress (MAP) project.
In times where facts are often interchanged for judgments and stereotypes, MAP aims to create a space for dialogue, truth and understanding. Through this project we share the story of American Muslim communities- communities that are often marginalized and misrepresented - communities that feel the brunt of bigotry on a regular basis. MAP enables American Muslims to share their narrative through data, pictures and human stories.
So where are we now? We are wrapping up the research phase of MAP-NYC, and we are really looking forward to releasing and widely sharing the report in July. Through this project we examine the myriad contributions of Muslim New Yorkers to the success of the entire city and the health, happiness, and well-being of their fellow Americans. The qualitative data will be accompanied by photo narratives of highlighted contributors and 5 video narratives.
We also continue to share data and stories from MAP Michigan nationwide, with additional exhibits and events being scheduled all the way up to 2019. As we release our findings from MAP-NYC, we anticipate additional exhibits in new locations. MAP also received over 20 media mentions including, TV, radio, print, and online outlets.With every exhibit, interview, media mention or panel discussion we are creating new opportunities to reflect on the commonality of our human experience and the way all of us are integral part of the unique and diverse fabric of our nation.
This work could not have been possible without your support. Thank you for playing a part in bringing this criticat work to life.
