We believe American Muslims must take the lead in building tolerance and fostering a respect for human rights and social justice. We work to change the discourse within both the American Muslim community and in the broader American Society. AIC advocates for the American Muslim community, meeting with leaders on Capitol Hill and government agencies and collaborating with NGOs and campaigns.
AIC also works abroad, offering a diverse array of programs, events and initiatives across the Middle East and North Africa. With six offices in four countries and a full-time staff of more than 25 people, AIC continues to grow and expand its reach in accomplishing its mission.
The recently opened AIC Center offers a gateway to a scene of innovators and artists who explore the diversity of American Muslim identity. Overlooking Boston's Back Bay, the Center’s gleaming white interior hall includes a stage for artistic performances, business roundtables, human rights panels, and social events.
