Statements – Canadian Muslim Public Affairs Council

About Us

The Canadian Muslim Public Affairs Council fights structural Islamophobia by mobilizing communities, engaging decision makers, and influencing public policy. We are a non-profit organization that works through community engagement, advocacy, and political lobbying. Our work is research backed and community driven. We equip community members to advocate for structural change. We fight the battles that nobody else will, and we’re in it for the long haul, together.
