WISCONSIN MUSLIMS HAVE A NEW HOME FOR CIVIC ACTIVITY

“It was very emotional,” said Sheila Badwan about the June 24 grand opening of the Wisconsin Muslim Civic Alliance and the Wisconsin Muslim Civic Foundation office at 3321 W. Rawson Ave., Franklin. 

Franklin Mayor John Nelson, flanked by WMCA president Badwan and WMCF president Mushir Hassan, M.D., participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony as Muslim community leaders and allies, and elected officials applauded. Soon, Badwan would speak about “what having a building means for our community, especially right now, and why these two organizations matter,” she told the Wisconsin Muslim Journal.
