Muslim Advocates
www.muslimadvocates.org
Empowering community, protecting America's promise.
Equality, liberty and justice are guaranteed for all, regardless of faith. We
go straight to the top--offering sophisticated, nuanced and constructive legal
and policy expertise to leaders at the highest levels of government and the
Muslim American community to ensure the civic participation and civil liberties
of every American.
As the events of September 11, 2001 and their aftermath continue to
reverberate, it is more vital than ever that skilled Muslim American lawyers,
who understand U.S. legal, legislative and political
systems, bring their unique perspective and skill sets to the table. Lending
such knowledge and expertise, we seek to join hands with our partners in the
government, legal, nonprofit and community sectors to create sophisticated
advocacy and educational campaigns aimed at ensuring our nation's commitment to
its founding principles.
Muslim Advocates emerged in 2005 as a 501©3 sister entity to the National
Association of Muslim Lawyers (NAML), a professional association of
approximately 500 Muslim lawyers, law students and other legal
professionals.

state of Florida. While our membership is open to all who may have an interest
in issues relating to Muslim attorneys and the Muslim community at large, our
activities and events are geared towards the interests of Muslim attorneys as
well as to advocate for issues relevant to the Muslim community.
FMBA
is a statewide organization, although our principal focus at present is the
South Florida legal community. Our activities, however, have a statewide and
sometimes national reach. We are also in the process of reaching out to Central,
Western and Northern Florida, with the goal of establishing chapters in Orlando,
Tampa, Jacksonville, and Tallahassee.
