Bring Poligon Education Fund's Congressional Advocacy 101 training to your community!


Whether you are concerned about foreign policy, Islamophobia, or gun safety, you need a way to make your voice heard with your representatives. Poligon Education Fund is here to teach you just that. After a successful first year, our team is spending the blessed month of Ramadan during this critical election year reflecting and re-dedicating ourselves to our mission to amplify Muslim American voices in Congress, making it clear that:

Muslim Americans belong in America.

Muslim Americans belong on Capitol Hill.

Muslim Americans belong in public policy and politics.

America needs Muslim Americans to help shape a nation and future that is inclusive and equitable.


What does Poligon Do?

Poligon empowers Muslims and allies through advocacy trainings and tools to speak up on any issue they care about. We have created educational materials, built strong coalitions with national organizations, and worked tirelessly on issues like the Muslim travel ban, healthcare, and tax reform. 


This Ramadan, we need your zakat eligible and tax deductible donation to continue doing this important work! Every dollar you donate will help keep the momentum going. 


Here is where your donations will go:

$25: One monthly newsletter with a rundown of our recent activities and upcoming events

$50: One Advocacy 101 webinar, accessible anywhere

$100: Research, coordination, and visit to a Congressional Office

$250: Development of a comprehensive "How-to Guide" (Office Visits; Town Halls)

$500: All communications for an entire month (4 "Hill Happenings" newsletters, 1 monthly newsletter, and at least 1 Action Alert)

$1,000: One in person training inside the DC/MD/VA area​

$2,000: One in person training outside of the DC/MD/VA area (within the Continental U.S.)

$5,000: Congressional report card to help communities make informed decisions before heading to the polls in 2018

Thank you for your support in amplifying Muslim American voices in Congress!
