MPAC Celebrates a Historic Night
By Dr Salam Al-Marayati
President MPAC


With the holiday season upon us and 2023 just a few weeks away, I wanted to take a moment and thank  everyone that attended, watched, and supported the 2022 MPAC Convention. It was heartwarming to see so many of our community members come together for the first time in over two years, and it was equally inspiring to see so many of our supporters join us virtually from across the country. 

With so much happening on the national stage, this event was an opportunity for us to reconnect with the community we fight for every day. Our entire staff left the event feeling galvanized by the community members who came out en-masse to show their support and ready to take on the challenges that lie before us. We are all tremendously excited for the future of MPAC in 2023 and beyond.

This year's event featured a groundbreaking panel,  The  Weaponization of Women: Working Towards Inalienable Rights,  where panelists  discussed some of the most critical, contentious issues facing women around the world. After a year of work, we were proud to share the many successes our organization has achieved throughout 2022 with our in-person and virtual attendees. And I was ecstatic to learn that  we crushed our fundraising goal of $200,000, raising over $250,000 in support of programs like the Congressional Leadership Development Program, The Mustard Seed Project, and others. 

We could not do the work we do without the support of community members, leaders, and partners like you. Thank you again for your continued support.
P.S. The panelists from  The  Weaponization of Women: Working Towards Inalienable Rights stressed  the importance of every one of us to be engaged, educated, and active in the ongoing struggle for Women's rights.  Click here to access important resources and stand in solidarity during these times of uncertainty.
