MWN is an equitable and a safe environment for Muslim Workers in the great Washington DC area to come together as a one, to reflect on their experiences and build their power. Through the Network we aspire to highlight and amplify the voices of Muslim Women Workers, mothers, and all of those who are historically unheard, marginalized, or restricted in our community. Join Us.

MJF is conducting this survey with working-class Muslim mothers and working-class Muslim women in the DC, MD, and VA region in order to understand working-class Muslim women's financial needs and expectations.

In late 2020 and early 2021, we conducted oral and visual histories of five Muslim immigrant workers through the DC Oral History Collaborative for inclusion in the city’s official records. These interviews focus on how the workers are treated at their workplace, the obstacles and discrimination they face, and their journeys of joining and participating in labor movements. Tune in!

This brief offers a snapshot of the ways COVID-19 has impacted mainly working-class Muslim communities within the Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia area, and presents the ways JMC has responded and disbursed funds to support families and individuals.
