Muslims and Political Participation after November 2024

By the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding (ISPU)

For the first time ever, in the months leading up to the 2024 presidential election, American Muslim voters in swing states garnered unprecedented attention from the mainstream media and policy makers. With concerns about the US role in Gaza at the forefront, American Muslims dramatically increased their civic engagement, mobilizing politically, forming coalitions, and fragmenting support for presidential candidates.

Ahead of President Trump’s inauguration on January 20, it’s critical to understand what transpired among Muslim voters in November to better prepare for how American Muslims can move forward.

Will the recent political mobilization of the community in response to the genocide in Gaza increase, or will the lack of policy change, combined with the election of President Trump, lead to disengagement and alienation? What lessons can be drawn from the coalition-building and the fragmentation of the Muslim vote as Muslims and other minority groups prepare for an incoming Trump administration? Can the student protest movement mobilize a new generation of Muslim voters?

Join ISPU on January 15 at 12 p.m. EST for an engaging panel discussion examining these questions and more about the political events that shaped the Muslim community over the past year and exploring the role they will play in the political system moving forward.

To further our goal of reaching as many people as possible in 2025, ISPU is collecting additional demographic information on event attendees. This information is optional and will be available only to ISPU staff. Thank you for helping us learn!
