As salaamu alaykum, Indiana Jones—
I know you are also uneasy about the year to come. There's no way not to be.
Some of you are long-term supporters of MPower and know our history:
We are an organization uniquely familiar with Trump — we cut our teeth fighting his racist and Islamophobic policies.
You also know that we've been persistent organizers in the wrenching work to stop the genocide in Gaza.
But we need to keep going. Because that is what we are built for.
We know how to fight Trump.
But we will need your help to keep doing that in 2025.
MPower members like you accomplished so much this year.
MPower members achieved a historic first-ever Congressional vote to block U.S. weapons to Israel; translated our #MyMuslimVote materials into eleven different languages; won an official UN ruling that Citibank is "directly linked to human rights abuses" in Gaza, with an order to stop immediately; and have persistently been on the streets in every city that MPower members organize in.
And we are going to be called upon to do more.
For Gaza. For our communities. And for ourselves.
Ready to protect all our undocumented neighbors and family. Ready to stop a new Muslim Ban before it can happen. Ready to keep doing everything we can for Gaza and the West Bank. Ready to face and counter brazen public racism, Islamophobia, and hate of all kinds. And ready for a President Trump capable of following through on his worst threats.
Please ensure you and all of us are ready for that moment and the year to come.
In solidarity,
Linda and the MPower Change team
