Training Muslims to run for office. Transforming youth into community organizers.

Jetpac’s Story

Days after the 2017 presidential inauguration, Jetpac launched a nationwide open call to American Muslims: If you want change, run for office. Over 100 American Muslims and minority allies responded to the call by applying to Jetpac’s Public Service Fellowship program, ready to learn community organizing, advocacy, and social impact skills.

Of the 511,000 elected positions in the United States, fewer than 220 are held by American Muslims. Just as Hamza Ibn Abdul Muttalib (R.A.) stood up and spoke against Abu Jahl’s tyranny of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW), we must stand up and speak out for our rights as Americans. There is no better way than to stand up to the oppression we are facing than running for office.

You can help Jetpac achieve our 2018 goal to train a record 100 American Muslims to run for office and educate 250 American Muslim youth on the importance of civics.

Programs

Jetpac’s programs include a Public Service Fellowship for adult professionals who want to learn how to organize locally and run for office, an AP-accredited U.S. Government and Politics course to educate high school students on the application of their faith in civic leadership, and a Youth Civic Education Program, which combines elements of the Public Service Fellowship and the AP curriculum into an easily-scalable weekend model for underserved youth.

Successes

So far, 12 elected seats have been won by our 29 Fellowship graduates, who have accumulated over 60,000 votes. Jetpac Fellows engaged with more than 40,000 households on issues affecting their communities in 2017 alone.
