NEWYORK: Muslim American delegations met NYS Democratic Chair Jay Jacobs and party leadership alongside Muslim Americans of Long Island and discussed various issues with regard to community.

They said that NYS Democratic Chair was informed that Muslim community deserves not just to be heard, but to be included — at decision-making tables, in leadership roles, and in shaping the policies that impact our families.
They said that they are grateful for a meaningful and productive meeting with NYS Democratic Chair Jay Jacobs and encouraged by the commitment to continued dialogue and collaboration, and looking forward to turning these conversations into action.
