Muslim Community Network

Description

• Muslim Community Network develops the capacity of Muslim New Yorkers and their allies to fully participate in the social and political landscape of NYC. MCNs strategies include creating strong relationships with other faithbased communities; articulating and advancing an understanding of the need for citizen engagement; developing the skills and ability of our community to affect change, and building the next generations identity and capacity as leaders. Our program areas: Youth Leadership Development, Community Education, Civic Engagement, Cross-Cultural Education. VALUES & OPERATING PRINCIPLES Social Justice Framework We use a social justice framework to encourage engagement in addressing the root causes of inequality. Inclusion, Unity, and Diversity We work with all of New Yorks diverse Muslim and non-Muslim communities. We value diverse leadership and voices. We seek to facilitate the emergence of a Muslim identity that transcends generational, ethnic, gender, racial and class-based boundaries. Mutual Consultation We believe in mutual consultation as a decision making process which works to build consensus and cooperation among diverse opinions, identities and experiences. Self Determination We create spaces for all New Yorkers to engage one another and take an active role in their society. Rather than attempt to represent all Muslims or New Yorkers, we prefer to bring people to the table to represent themselves. Empowerment We facilitate individual and community empowerment by providing spaces for reflection and consciousness-raising within the Muslim community, which develops the confidence and self-reliance necessary for the realization of power. Partnership We value partnership as a means of effectively expanding the ways in which we can serve multiple communities. Creating Connections We do not seek to reinvent the wheel, but rather to connect those with experience and expertise to audiences that can benefit from their teachings.
