The deadline for registration is set for Friday, April 12th.
The US Council of Muslim Organizations (USCMO), in partnership with Islamic Relief USA and affiliates, is proud to announce the official launch of the 9th annual National Muslim Advocacy Day on Capitol Hill, slated to occur on Monday, April 29, and Tuesday, April 30, at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C!
To schedule all congressional meetings for attendees on time, USCMO urges all interested participants to register by Friday, April 12th.

In a statement, USCMO Secretary-General Oussama Jammal said,
“We urge every organization, mosque, institution, and activist to encourage early registration for Advocacy Day and to mobilize our community like never before. Sponsor your community members, facilitate their transportation to DC – let us come together in solidarity and strength.”
“Our goal is clear: to push our members of Congress to support a ceasefire and to authorize funding for Gaza’s reconstruction, dollar for dollar. It is unacceptable that the same amount of money used for destruction is not matched for rebuilding.”
Representatives from national, state, and local Muslim organizations and communities are strongly encouraged to join this two-day advocacy event. Delegates and activists will engage with congressional offices to address the pressing issues affecting American Muslims amidst today’s political landscape.
Participants of past events have shared their experiences through photos and commentary on social media platforms, using the hashtag #MuslimHillDay.
During the eighth annual National Muslim Advocacy Day last year, over 500 delegates from 20 states convened with more than 200 elected officials and congressional staffers.
For further details regarding the event or inquiries about how your Muslim organization or community can participate, please reach out to USCMO at: advocacy@uscmo.org.
