WHY WAS MCC ESTABLISHED?
The MUSLIM CITY COUNCIL (MCC) is a non-profit, grassroots membership organization. We have headquarters in Olympia Washington,
and MCC chapters across America, & Canada
MCC was established to promote a positive image of Islam and Muslims in over the World. We believe misrepresentations
of Islam are most often the result of ignorance on the part of non-Muslims and reluctance on the part of Muslims to articulate
their case.
WHAT IS MCC'S MISSION?
MCC is dedicated to presenting an Islamic perspective on issues of importance to the American public.& The World generaly
In Offering that perspective, we seek to empower the Muslim community in America through political and social activism.
HOW DOES MCC CARRY OUT ITS MISSION?
Media Relations:
We work with media professionals, Government bodies, Ngo's around world to help shape a positive image of Islam. MCC activists
also monitor the local, national and international media to challenge negative stereotypes of Islam and Muslims.
CONFERTNCES & SEMINARS:
We organize conferences and seminars for media professionals, government officials and the academic community. These events
are designed to present otherwise unavailable information about Islam and Muslims.
PUBLICATIONS:
A variety of publications addressing the needs of Muslims in America are offered to opinion leaders and the public. We
also publish a quarterly newsletter Faith In Action. MCC also produces practical handbooks, such as "Hajj and Ramadan
Publicity Kits," for use by Muslim leaders and activists.
ACTION ALERTS:
MCC issues action alerts to local communities as a means of promoting local activitism and generating a grassroots response
on important issues. We believe local response is a key factor in making our voices heard.
