Virginia's Muslim communities at the table.

Muslim Advocacy Day brings our communities to Richmond to participate in civic advocacy, meet elected officials, and make sure the priorities affecting our families, businesses, and neighborhoods are heard. MAVE prepares every attendee to take part with confidence.

You’ll be prepared

MAVE provides training, talking points, and guidance before the day, so you know what to expect and how to take part.

You won’t do it alone

You’ll join other Muslim Virginians in coordinated meetings and share the priorities our communities hold in common.

Your presence matters

Showing up helps build lasting relationships between our communities and the leaders making decisions across Virginia.

First time? You're exactly who this is for.

You don't need policy expertise or a polished speech. Come ready to listen, learn, and speak from your own experience. We'll help with the rest.
