Our Story Hello! I’m Maram Abdelhamid, the founder and president of Liberty and Access For All (L+A). We are a trans-partisan / bipartisan nonprofit located in Washington DC dedicated to building America’s next generation of diverse leaders. America’s demographics are changing, yet our economic opportunity is not yet equitable. Lingering race, gender and class prejudices continue to affect hiring and promotion processes and the current system of unpaid internships blocks entry to many political, government public policy, civil society and media careers. So I built an organization that serves as a bridge to solve the problem for both the public and private sector. My decision to build Liberty and Access for All is not only political, it’s also personal. For everyone, 9/11 was a day of infamy. For me, it was the day led me to Washington DC to start a career in politics and advocacy. In the climate of fear and hate of the “other“ I still believe in the promise of America, a place where anyone who is full of grit and is brave can change the world and be successful. It’s been 15 years since that fateful day. In that time, I’ve dedicated my life to empowering and teaching others to be active in civil society, politics and government and to access the resources and skills necessary to thrive in the competitive leadership environment. L+A was created because I believe there is a real need for diverse voices and leadership in Washington DC and in all communities. Our Board of Directors are Republicans, Democrats, and Independents who are committed to working together to empower, teach and connect L+A program participants to the sphere of influence in Washington DC and beyond. Together, we believe that people representative of every political party and every demographic should be at the leadership table! Mission We work to increase the number of trained diverse leaders in America and the number of community service projects around the country. We support our program participants by providing low-cost or free educational resources including training programs, mentor-ships and work internships. Through alliances and partnerships, we leverage our contacts to meet our program goals. We are a leadership incubator for the next generation of leaders who make real, lasting and positive change. Vision: At Liberty and Access for All we believe in an America in which every person – regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity has a place at the leadership table. Our programs and training allow our participants to break through institutional barriers and gain access to centers of influence. Students will utilize their new skills, knowledge and tools to become leaders in their communities. Our participants will have the skills necessary to create a truly representative and innovative government and civil society that can respond effectively to the needs of All Americans.
Mission: Liberty and Access for All is a nonpartisan nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering communities of color and traditionally underrepresented communities by fostering meaningful civic engagement and participation, supporting the creation of a truly representative media and democracy and providing critical resources to nurture the next generation of leaders. We accomplish these goals at Liberty and Access for All by providing trainings, mentorships, valuable work experience and low-cost or free educational resources to program participants. Liberty and Access creates partnerships to allow program participants to draw from the diverse range of experiences of leaders in all branches of federal, state and local government, political parties and organizations, the media, and nonprofit and advocacy organizations.
