Creating a culture rooted in human rights in Muslim societies.
Our mission is to inculcate a culture rooted in human rights through public education, advocacy, and the arts.
“I follow the Way of Love, and where Love's caravan takes its path, there is my religion, my faith.”
— Ibn Al-'Arabi
We advocate for women and LGBTQIA+ rights, for the separation of religion and state, and for freedom of conscience. In advancing these human rights values, MPV provides an alternative progressive voice to these issues by participating in civil discourse, engaging with the media and government entities, with public educational forums as well as cultural events, and by partnering with both Muslim and non-Muslim progressive organizations.
Since our inception, we have secured the Department of Public Information and Economic and Social Council Special Consultative Status at the U.N., challenging much of the human rights abuses in Muslim societies.
Muslims for Progressive Values envisions a world that reflects Islam as a source of dignity, justice, compassion, and love for all.
Starting in Los Angeles, we have been building a progressive Muslim movement which has now has expanded to San Francisco, Washington DC, Atlanta, New York, Chicago, and Boston.
