About our Grassroots Policy Agenda
As we approach the twentieth anniversary of the War on Terror, we are calling for abolishing the War on Terror and reinvesting resources into structures of community care to protect the future of our people. It is our hope that this agenda is used as a tool to further engage our communities, grassroots organizations, movement groups, and policymakers in order to build power, heal, and enact change.
About Us
In February 2021, the organizations in Muslim Abolitionist Futures collaborated to build a policy agenda with demands that are rooted in grassroots and community-based organizations that work with African, Black, Muslim, Middle Eastern, Arab, and South Asian communities across the country.
As groups who have been on the frontlines of defending our communities targeted by punitive government policies, we worked to create a visionary and transformative policy agenda on abolishing the War on Terror and building communities of care in order to uplift our collective demands at the national, state, and local-level.
