Advocacy

At the Wisconsin Muslim Civic Alliance (WMCA), one of our top priorities is advocating for the diverse and growing Muslim population in Wisconsin. We aim to increase member involvement in advocacy through continuous education on advocacy fundamentals and opportunities to engage with policymakers. By empowering our members with the knowledge and skills they need, we can drive meaningful change and make our collective voice heard.

In keeping with these efforts, we were proud to host WMCA’s first-ever Advocacy Day at the State Capitol in Madison, WI on February 19, 2025. Over 40 community members from around the state gathered to meet with their respective legislators to address the issue of Islamophobia. It was a productive step in forming critical relationships with lawmakers and making our presence known. Stay tuned for more events like this in the future!
