Who We Are
Black Muslims Now (BMN) is a New York City-based, Black Muslim-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the visibility, unification, and empowerment of Black Muslims. Through advocacy, arts and culture, education, civic engagement, community service, and interfaith collaboration, BMN amplifies Black Muslim voices, strengthens communities, and creates opportunities for connection, leadership, and collective action.
Visibility is central to our mission. We celebrate Black Muslim histories and contributions while confronting Islamophobia and anti-Black racism within Muslim communities and in broader society. Our advocacy takes many forms: legislative and policy engagement, coalition-building, storytelling, cultural programming, public dialogue, and direct community service. We create affirming spaces for Black Muslims across generations, cultures, and backgrounds.
