We are committed to passing a bill that would create a state commission in Massachusetts to study issues that affect American Muslim communities in the Commonwealth, with the goal of combatting Islamophobia, ensuring the safety of Muslims, and promoting Muslim civic engagement.

We feel that it is vital for Massachusetts' Muslim community to have a permanent state commission focused on documenting their unique challenges and providing recommendations to state lawmakers, businesses, schools, and community leaders to address them
