Seven Muslims died on mosque premises from 2017-22.

Islamophobia is on the rise.

It is deadly.

The SIP is supposed to fund communities to protect against hate.

But it's saturated & slow.

Our joint op-ed makes recommendations for urgently needed reform.

Too many Muslims have died.

Mosques continue to be vandalized & attacked.

We need to be able to help ourselves.

Our communities deserve to be safe.
