The 2016 election is an extremely important election for the American Muslim community. As election day approaches, Emerge USA and Makespace will be hosting a series of town hall events to discuss important issues for the American Muslim community and to engage campaigns at the local, state and federal levels. On February 13th, our featured speaker will be The Honorable Farah Pandith, a friend and representative of Hillary Clinton. This is an important convening to engage a presidential campaign to learn and discuss the issues important to you.

Engaging lawmakers and leaders is the best way to impact our nation’s political and socio-economic landscape. Much has been said lately about American Muslims and for American Muslims. Less known, however, are the firsthand aspirations of American Muslim communities in key swing states during a pivotal election year. This open forum Town Hall is an opportunity for those in the DMV to interact with important frontrunners in the 2016 Presidential elections, to ask questions and to shape discourse around some of the most important issues of our time.

Featured Guest: The Honorable Farah Pandith, first Special Representative to Muslim Communities for the United States Department of State under Hillary Clinton
