Muslim Justice League Information

The Muslim Justice League (MJL), is a Boston-based, locally-driven organization advocating for human and civil rights that are threatened under national security pretexts. MJL was founded in 2014 by four Muslim women in response to a need for locally-driven advocacy by directly-impacted communities to protect rights threatened in the name of counterterrorism. Our advocacy engages and advances the rights of people of all faiths and none. We are committed to critical analysis of the structural causes of rights violations and to promoting understanding of the connections among policies and practices that target various “suspect communities.”
