(Middle East Eye) Muslim-American activists are rallying across the country on Friday in an attempt to ensure every eligible voter from the faith group is registered for November’s presidential election.
MPower Change, which bills itself as the biggest Muslim digital advocacy organisation in the US, launched National Muslim Voter Registration Day, which falls on 28 August, as part of its #MyMuslimVote campaign.
According to the organisation, almost half a million registered Muslim voters have been contacted and encouraged to vote in person or by mail.
“The stakes in [the] 2020 elections couldn’t be higher for our community,” the #MyMuslimVote campaign says on its website.
