Jetpac

Jetpac (Justice Education Technology Political Advocacy Center) seeks to build a strong American Muslim political infrastructure and increase our community’s influence and engagement. Our philosophy of change is rooted in a community-based approach, grassroots mobilization, civics training, and technology application. We have developed our own training curriculum, as well as proprietary social media technology and automation tools, to give our Fellows the skills and resources they need to win elections. We were founded in November 2015 on the heels of Jetpac Founding President Nadeem Mazen’s historic Cambridge City Council re­-election. Through a grassroots organizing strategy and the creation of semi-automated fundraising and outreach technologies, Nadeem’s campaign staff (who would later become the Jetpac Team) increased Muslim voter turnout by 300% and gave Nadeem the highest vote total of all 26 candidates in one of the Commonwealth's most competitive races. Jetpac was established to scale and replicate Nadeem’s successes for American Muslims and allies across the country. Our staff conducts daily one-on-one trainings for American Muslims who wish to run for elected office.
