American Muslim Peace Initiative

American Muslim Peace Initiative is a network of organizations and leaders of various organizations uniting our voices to articulate the challenges and opportunities for promoting peace in our neighborhoods, our nation and our world.

Central to our vision are the basic human values and experiences and an insight to focus on improving communication, increasing understanding and knowledge about each other and working towards collectively creating a lasting era of peace.
