We're excited to kick off our in-person programming in a couple of weeks with two events co-sponsored by Muslim Power Building Project @muslimpowerbuilding. Please join us as we build community and solidarity in the face of unrelenting state violence.

🚨 It’s finally here! We’re proud to release Digital Rights, Silent Voices: https://t.co/mjAlKqRPgP 📢 Let’s make tech accountable and equitable for all. Join us on Instagram LIVE today at 12 PM ET for key takeaways of the report! https://t.co/9pHDteoqM2

📌 NEW REPORT: Launching TOMORROW! Muslim Americans have long been the canary in the coal mine of digital repression. 📘 Our report bridges research, advocacy + lived experience to push for change. #DigitalDissent #CivilLiberties #Islamophobia #DigitalJustice #EquitableTech

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. #DigitalRights #MuslimVoices #TechEquity #CivilLiberties #Surveillance

"For over two decades, Guantanamo has long been a symbol in the American imagination of who deserves what kind of punishment and who can be and should be excluded altogether from any semblance of justice." via @Dr_Maha_Hilal

Please join us from 23-26 Jan in #Paris to view the beautiful art of #SabriAlQurashi, and to celebrate the triumph of the human spirit, despite the horrors of the US #torture programme at #Guantanamo Bay prison Details at : https://t.co/Td0BPEuphi #guantanamo23

"As a frequently weaponised threat, Guantanamo has consistently been used by the state as a way of disciplining Muslim bodies by cultivating fear and trauma for any Muslims who resist or defy it...That's why it is past time to close & abolish the prison." https://t.co/wUnTQTl98Y

"There is an Arabic proverb that says: 'They'll kill you & then march in your funeral.' The Biden administration's combatting Islamophobia guide is emblematic of precisely this." New op-ed from ED @Dr_Maha_Hilal critiquing conceptual issues in the guide. https://t.co/vig7qCC8wW

"Biden states that 'history teaches that hate never fully goes away; it only hides until it is given just a little oxygen'. Yet this wholly removes the role of the state in giving hate oxygen" ✍️ Opinion by Maha Hilal https://t.co/k9LjVGV36D

Join us in 30 mins @ 12 PM EST for a conversation w/ Alka Pradhan, an expert in international law & defense counsel for Ammar Al-Baluchi & our ED, Dr. Maha Hilal on the legacy of Guantanamo & next steps in the fight for accountability & justice. Register: https://t.co/3Juw491zpp

We will continue to fight for justice in this vein and articulate & demand our rights so loudly & relentlessly so that the state knows we will not settle for anything less. #FreePalestine🇵🇸 #FreeCongo🇨🇩 #FreeSudan🇸🇩 #InternationalHumanRightsDay #HumanRightsDay2024 #HumanRights

That’s why on human rights day, we also take heed from Black revolutionary Assata Shakur, who reminded us that “Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them.”
