Saturday, December 30, 2023, in Chicago, Illinois, at the Hilton @ McCormick, 123 E Cermak Rd (connected by skyline to where MAS-ICNA's convention takes place)

What policy positions do Muslim Americans favor? In a historic gathering, Muslim leaders - from all walks of life, from across the country - will come together to launch a "Grand Muslim American Platform Conversation" - to author a policy platform that Muslim Americans broadly seek to advance in the White House and the US Congress. Building on the "Swing State National Muslim Conference" that took place in Dearborn, Michigan on December 1-3 - which was covered by media outlets from across the globe - the "Muslim American Platform Conference" takes the next step by identifying policy priorities that presidential and congressional candidates would be asked to pursue in the upcoming 2024 election. The first step is consulting attendees about how to launch the "Grand Muslim American Conversation." All are welcome to attend. For years, Muslim Americans have been forced to choose between the 'lesser evil' platform offered by competing presidential candidates. But why not develop a Muslim American platform as a basis of influencing candidates prior to the election? Leaders from coast to coast will be asked to engage one another on the issues of health care, immigration, energy, climate change, education, election integrity, social security, student debt, police brutality, crime & justice, Islamophobia, national security, and civil rights. This event marks a significant moment in American political history, as Muslim American leaders execute a comprehensive national strategy for the upcoming 2024 presidential election, which emerged after shura consultations with leaders at the "Swing State Muslim National Conference." The "Muslim American Platform Conference" builds on the Swing State Muslim National Conference, as leaders develop policy as part of the #AbandonBiden's campaign to leverage the Muslim American vote in seven critical swing states to ensure that Biden loses the 2024 election because of his policy of death in Gaza. The goal is to deploy the platform that emerges from the conference as part of a broader strategy to increase the voice of Muslim Americans in US politics and as part of a process to support a presidential candidate in the 2024 election. The conference will feature a national press conference directed at the American people. The catalyst for this moment is President Biden's failure to protect innocent Palestinians, prompting a strong rejection of Biden and his policies. Muslim American leaders have drawn a clear moral redline, issuing an ultimatum that if Biden did not call for a ceasefire in Gaza by October 31st, 2023, they would pledge to not vote for him and to actively campaign against him. This conference will feature informational panels about the #AbandonBiden movement - and the #AbandonBiden strategy that undergirds the movement. The conference will also feature a conversation about how to launch the "Grand Muslim American Conversation" - a conversation that the #AbandonBiden campaign aspires will include all Muslim Americans from across the nation. #AbandonBiden seeks to empower Muslim Americans to leverage their power, and consequently, effect moral change in the United States and around the world. The goal of the #AbandonBiden campaign is to galvanize Muslim Americans to forge a national movement built around grassroots organizing, political lobbying, public advocacy, and voter mobilization, to effectively transform Muslim Americans into a powerful voting block with the capacity to transform America. This is a moment for unity and transformational action, as Muslim American communities across the nation come together to shape the future of the United States towards peace, justice, and dignity.
