(Middle East Eye) Muslim student groups at more than 30 US universities have dropped Emgage, a Muslim political advocacy group that has come under fierce criticism in recent weeks over its ties with pro-Israel groups, from an event aimed at mobilising young voters.
The event, hosted by Yale University’s Muslim Student Association (MSA), had initially been advertised with Emgage as a sponsor alongside the Muslim Leadership Lab, a programme at the school. The event also included Farooq Mitha, the co-founder of Emgage and presidential nominee Joe Biden’s Muslim outreach coordinator.
Following complaints from students and activists across multiple universities, Yale’s MSA dropped Emgage from the event completely.
The Yale MSA, its president Yousra Omar, and Emgage did not respond to Middle East Eye‘s request for comment or clarification.
