Muslim Anti-Racism Collaborative (MuslimARC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Our vision is Education for Liberation. MuslimARC works to CREATE anti-racism curriculum and education resources, CONNECT multi-racial and multi-faith networks through storytelling and media, and CULTIVATE racial justice through leadership and community development programs. We have provided online educational programming for nearly nine years and focused in-person programming in Southern California and the Midwest–where our central, full-time staff work remotely. As a human rights education organization, MuslimARC works within Muslim communities to build capacity for racial justice work and trains interfaith groups and multiracial coalition communities about the intersections of systemic racism and Islamophobia. MuslimARC education programming confronts racism amongst Muslims, racism against Muslims, and racism in society at large.
MuslimARC launched on February 10, 2014, to address the intersections of anti-Black racism and Islamophobia with the hashtag #BeingBlackAndMuslim. Over the next year, we launched heritage month campaigns and calls to action including the Call to Action: Support Rohingya We address three areas: (1) develop anti-oppression curricula for Muslim and allied communities; (2) provide fees for our services training and consulting; and (3) build community resilience through our membership and the American Muslim Anti-Racism Leadership (AMAL) fellowship.
Our trainers, speakers, and consultants connect with communities nationwide
