Are you a Muslim struggling with post-election uncertainty, fear, or anxiety?

Perhaps you are looking for reassurance and an opportunity to connect with your community?

You may be wondering what do we need to do or where do we even start to create positive change?
-------------------------------------------------------------
We invite you to attend the Post-Election Forum for Austin Muslims.
This initial meeting will focus on 3 things:
(1) Securing stability and offering reassurance to Muslims in Austin
(2) Providing a safe and open forum for attendees to engage in emotional processing
(3) Understanding the needs of our community and setting forth a plan to help you get involved in creating positive change

This will be an active conversation across all attendees. Please come ready to engage and share your thoughts.
