Welcome to RICMA Action Committee (PAC). We are a group dedicated to promoting unity of the RI Muslim community and to the following goals:

1.     Relationship building with public officials, media and other outlets.

2.       Public outreach and coalition building.

3.       Reinforcement of national and regional Muslim organizations.

4.       Educating the community on the voting process at general and presidential elections.

RICMA PAC supports all RI Muslim organizations, and does not endorse any political party or candidate.

As a service to the RI Muslim community, let us know about significant issues of public interest that you are facing and we are glad to write to the officials, media, and or coalitions. Examples of our previous actions are as follows:

• Letter for Egyptian revolution asking RI senators and representatives in the federal congress to vote for stopping all support for Mubarak’s regime and to advance support for Egyptian people’s right for self-determination.
• Letter concerning the Patriot Act asking RI senators and representatives in the federal congress to vote for the expiration of the controversial provisions that permit the government to investigate individuals even if they are not suspected of any wrongdoing and without prior court approval.
• Co-organized RI Muslims’ participation in the anti-war/anti-Islamophobia rally in New York City attended by thousands of people and hundreds of friendly coalitions, and followed up with government officials and media.
• Established and maintain relationships with friendly coalitions in RI.
• Reinforced the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR, the largest Muslim civil rights organization) on numerous issues ranging from foreign policy in the Middle East to domestic policy on Muslim student bullying in public schools.
