What is MAPAC:
The Muslim American Public Affairs Council (MAPAC) is an organization that aims to lobby at all levels of government on behalf of our growing American Muslim community. MAPAC focuses on politics and its effect on Muslims in America. MAPAC supports our Islamic Organizations in fulfilling their purpose and responsibility for the religious affairs in our areas. MAPAC also supports all
other Muslim organizations in their efforts in many areas such as peace and human rights issues. MAPAC is a Political Action Committee (PAC). Some of the many things MAPAC does are:
To indentify, lobby and support political candidates at Local, State and Federal level that are helpful and willing to represent the ever growing American Muslim community and their aspirations.
