For Colorado, the choice in the national election is simpler than in swing states. As a solid “blue state,” it is almost certain that the Democratic nominee will win Colorado’s electoral votes.
In 2026 the genocide in Gaza persists. Many elected leaders still refuse to call for an end to the atrocities and for withholding of military aid to Israel.
The Muslim community will hold these leaders accountable and will seek to understand where candidates stand on this very important issue. True leadership is not defined by convenience, but by the willingness to make difficult decisions when justice demands it. The strength of those in power is tested when they are faced with hard choices – when doing the right thing requires courage, sometimes at the risk of political backlash. Sadly, many of those who benefitted from our support failed that test.
We will not allow our voices to be ignored or our votes to be taken for granted. The Muslim vote will no longer be a given for those who don’t stand with us in our fight for dignity and human rights, both at home and abroad. This election, the Muslim community will vote against those who failed us and in doing so will make sure our voices are heard at the ballot box.
At the heart of our mission is the belief that every vote counts, and when we vote as a collective, our voices are amplified. We aim to empower the Muslim community to make informed choices, leveraging our collective voice to advocate for policies that reflect our values. By fostering political awareness, we equip our community with the tools to engage in the democratic process and make decisions that align with both our faith and our aspirations for a better society.
We are focused on all levels of governance – local, state, and national. Through this voter guide, we hope to provide our community with the information and resources needed to have a direct impact on the political process.
This initiative isn’t just about voting – it’s about building long-term political power. By encouraging civic participation, we are laying the foundation for future generations of leaders within our community. We are making it clear that the Muslim vote is essential and that our concerns must be addressed. Together, we can influence elections, hold our leaders accountable, and push for a future that respects the dignity and rights of all people. We stand united in our commitment to shaping a political landscape where our voices are heard, and our values are represented.
