Last night, President Obama gave the annual State of the Union address to the nation. His speech covered a myriad of issues currently impacting our country. As much as the State of the Union exists to serve as an update to the current state of affairs, this year’s address was a values-based speech and outlined a vision for the direction our nation should go. If we are to be that strong tight-knit family, we truly do need to be based on values; values of cohesion, not division. In that vain, last night, MPAC held a community-wide State of the Union viewing party as part of our work ensuring a robust American Muslim community engaged in civic and political work. Regardless of how we feel about specific policies, remaining engaged in the political process is an important part of ensuring our voices remain heard, relevant and part of the decision-making process.
