ABOUT THE RECIPIENT LIST
The “Muslim Pledge for Religious Freedom and Safety from Harm for Former Muslims” – the Freedom Pledge – was sent on the dates shown to the individual Muslim leaders listed below. The organizational affiliation for an individual Muslim leader may be as a director or officer of the specified group. Many Muslim leaders serve on multiple boards, but a single organizational affiliation for each leader is shown, usually as a member of a Board of Directors or as an Executive/President.
WHO GETS THE FREEDOM PLEDGE?
The Freedom Pledge is selectively mailed, with a cover letter addressed to an individual Muslim leader. It is our intent to reach out to as many Muslim leaders as we can, to give them all an opportunity to sign the pledge and support the civil rights of former Muslims.
HOW TO REQUEST A COPY OF THE PLEDGE
Muslim leaders who would like to be mailed a copy of the pledge in order to sign it should send their name, organizational affiliations and postal mailing address to info@formermuslimsunited.org. If the public or policymakers would like to nominate a Muslim leader to be a recipient of the pledge, so that he or she has an opportunity to sign it, please also email info@formermuslimsunited.org.
