TOMORROW AT 12 PM ET:
Join us on IG LIVE as we breakdown MCL's NEW REPORT: Digital Voices, Silenced Rights:
Muslim American Experiences Online.
Don't miss this critical conversation with Sanaa Ansari-Khan and Niala Mohammad!

Digital repression is real.
📲 Muslim organizers, students, and creators are surveilled, shadowbanned, and censored for challenging the status quo.

Our new report uplifts Muslim digital experiences—and calls for an urgent reckoning with how tech is used to silence dissent.

What happens when digital platforms enable Islamophobia, while censoring Muslim voices that speak out against injustice?
Our upcoming report documents how these patterns of algorithmic bias, platform double standards, and state surveillance aren't accidental—they’re systemic.

Coming soon: A new digital rights report spotlighting how Muslim American activists are being surveilled, censored, and silenced online.

Ramadan is a time for building relationships, community, and solidarity. In a country and world that feels increasingly unsafe for many of our communities, we invite you to join Muslim Counterpublics Lab at our annual iftar.

Join me this Friday, 2/28 @ Red Emma's in Baltimore at 7 PM, for a talk on my book "Innocent Until Proven Muslim: Islamophobia, the War on Terror & the Muslim Experience Since 9/11" followed by a discussion w/ Dr. Sam Agarwal on how to abolish the national security state. Rsvp: bit.ly/IUPBookTalk

My new op-ed titled "Trump's Guantanamo plan invokes 'war on terror' to justify inhumane immigration policies," examines the weaponization and deployment of the construct of terrorism to justify the recent iteration of migrant detentions at the base. Read it here: bit.ly/DetentionAtGuantanamo

On Saturday, February 15th, we will be holding our first Counterpublic Cafe of the year, titled "Building Coalitions to Confront State Violence." This cafe will focus on renewing our commitments to each other and our communities to tackle the threat of U.S. state violence.

1) On Friday, February 14th 2025, we will host “A Muslim Kind of Love” - an evening to honor our community’s strength and joy. The event will include food, activities, a raffle, and most importantly, connection. Allies welcome too! Register: http://bit.ly/MuslimKindOfLove

We are thrilled by the news that 11 Yemeni Guantanamo prisoners have been transferred to Oman, where they can hopefully start to build a new life. With that said, we know from working with survivors, however, that life after Guantanamo is full of trauma and struggles.

Join us in 30 mins at 12 PM EST for a conversation w/ Alka Pradhan, an expert in international law and defense counsel for Ammar Al-Baluchi & our ED, Dr. Maha Hilal on the legacy of Guantanamo and next steps in the fight for accountability and justice. Register: http://bit.ly/InjusticeAtGuantanamo

Every year on December 10th, states across the globe commemorate International Human Rights Day. Even though human rights are meant to be applied universally, we know that there are many communities across the globe who have had their rights consistently & systematically denied.
