Social Media + Activism: Why Your Reshare Matters
In the current state of the world, things might seem rather bleak, and it might feel as though you, as an individual, have no path or means to effect any meaningful change. However, I can assure you that this is not the case - you have more resources at your disposal than you might think. In the grand scheme of things, social movements are complex entities that require many different roles to function effectively and ensure their long-term success.
More than a Mission: Witnessing Change
At Georgia Muslim Voter Project, I discovered firsthand the transformative power of channeling passion into tangible results. My name is Arsheela Hudda and I serve as an Organizing Intern with Georgia Muslim Voter Project (GAMVP). I’ve had an incredible opportunity to be a part of a movement that aims to amplify the voices of Muslim communities all across Georgia. This experience has not only shaped my understanding of civic engagement but has empowered me to contribute to the broader conversation surrounding advocacy and representation.
A Love Letter to Georgia Muslims 💌
My name is Samiah Rahman and I am a senior at Georgia State studying business. I had the pleasure of interning at GAMVP for the majority of 2023. I applied to work at Georgia Muslim Voter Project because my long term goals include attending law school, and I wanted to grow my skill sets in the political field. Working at GAMVP was a great experience and I truly enjoyed being a part of such an amazing community.
INSIGHTS FROM A FIELD ORGANIZER
Growing up in an immigrant community, I've seen how voting can be challenging for some of my friends and family who aren't eligible due to their immigration status. That's what got me interested in civic engagement in the first place. I joined the Georgia Muslim Voter Project as a canvasser to do my part in supporting those who can't vote and to encourage those who can.
INSIGHTS FROM AN ORGANIZER: A REFLECTION ON MUSLIM ADVOCACY DAY
On Thursday March 16th, 2023, Georgia Muslim Voter Project (GAMVP) hosted Georgia Muslim Advocacy Day, in partnership with the Council on American-Islamic Relations Georgia Chapter (CAIR-GA) and Inner-City Muslim Action Network Atlanta (IMAN Atlanta). This event marked the first of its kind in several years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, bringing together over 150 Georgia Muslims from diverse communities across the state to the Georgia State Capitol building.
