BMLC: Black Muslim Leadership Council

[Bilal Mahmud المكافح المخلص]

A national nonprofit organization dedicated to policy advocacy for urban communities, voter turnout, civic education, and leadership development and training.  (March 1, 2024)

Black Muslim Leadership Council is the first Black American Muslim-led organization of its kind in the nation.

History of Black Muslims in America 

Black Muslims have been in America since the Transatlantic Slave Trade. They now make up the largest percentage of the American Muslim population at 28%. This community wields enormous social, economic, and political influence. 

Policy Advocacy 

Black American Muslims are impacted by the same issues as all Black Americans and Muslim Americans, as well as a variety of issues specific to the Black Muslim community. Our advocacy efforts focus on addressing the vital needs of our community through effective, sustained action with an emphasis on addressing systemic discrimination. Areas of focus include, but are not limited to: economic equity; education; public safety; health care; criminal justice; and environmental justice. Voter Turnout 

Casting one’s vote translates our voices into tangible impacts and helps guide the direction of our nation. To drive voters to the polls, we will run voter registration, canvassing/door knocking, and phone banking efforts, provide resources about voting rights, and partner with local mosques and other organizations to empower the community. 

Civic Education 

Engagement with the civic system is how change is made. This can take many forms: from building advocacy partnerships to meeting with elected officials and beyond. We will provide workshops run by experts to educate the community on the various aspects of civic engagement as well as opportunities for involvement. 

Leadership Development and Training 

The Black American Muslim community has always been an extremely influential, dedicated force for justice and equality. This power is rapidly growing, and it is essential that we develop leaders of all ages and backgrounds to mobilize our community in pursuit of collective advancement. Black Muslim Leadership Political Roundtable 

This group of national leaders, experts, scholars, and activists meets monthly to establish the Black Muslim Policy Agenda and build strategies to organize and empower Black Muslim communities.
