(CBC) The Canadian-Muslim Vote (TCMV) launched its Muslim Vote Weekend campaign on Friday, and Calgary’s Al Salam Centre took part.
Featuring “Get Out the Vote” civic engagements and sermons in more than 100 mosques across Canada, the campaign is a partnership with the Muslim Association of Canada (MAC) with a goal to mobilize Muslim voters to hit advance polls.
Ibrahim Jadalowen, a civic engagement coordinator with MAC, said the campaign was created as a way to ensure that minority rights remain upheld and protected in a period of civic and political unrest.
“We are trying to raise awareness in the Muslim communities about the issues that are facing us [and] that are [affecting] us directly,” Jadalowen said.
