Are you sick of hearing government officials, media pundits, and elected leaders talk about Muslims... but rarely bothering to talk to Muslims?
Do you wish you knew how to effectively talk to public officials about the domestic and foreign policy issues you care deeply about, so that they care about them enough to act?
Do you wish, hope, and pray for change? Are you ready to act to bring about change?
We are one step closer in empowering our community to make that change. The Muslim Public Affairs Council is coming to offer Houston a unique program to prepare us to stand up and advocate for the issues we all care about, and strengthen our ability to do it effectively!
During the I AM CHANGE Workshop, the renowned Edina Lekovic will share:
Inspiring knowledge on how to promote active citizenship with members of your community from an Islamic perspective
A deeper understanding of how local, state, and federal government works and how you can make your voice heard and make a difference in your advocacy at each level
Priceless skills and practice in talking about the issues you care about with public officials, the media, diverse audiences and your community
Energizing examples of Muslim Americans who are successfully working for change every single day, and making a difference
"I Am Change" is about active citizenship. It's about embracing our rights as Muslim Americans to work with decision makers in our local communities, in our state legislatures, and in Congress to shape better policies.
Please reserve your seat for the I AM CHANGE Workshop on May 3rd at Rice University in the Humanities Building Room 117 1 to 4 pm. http://tinyurl.com/IAmChangeReg
The heavily discounted cost for this invaluable training (value: $100+), stands at just $15.
Finally, here is a link to the I Am Change videos, which we will use during the workshop. Video #1 (MPAC I Am Change) is a promo/commerical and video #7 (I Am Change program commercial) is more of an intro on what to expect.
Those who attend this workshop will form the core group of leaders toward November elections inshaAllah. Forget Muslim Standard Time; we're starting now!
