About Us
Since 2015, TCMV has been empowering Canadian Muslims through civic education, political engagement, and leadership, fostering an informed and active community that contributes to Canada’s democracy.
Who We Are
Mission
To educate Canadian Muslims on the democratic process and to foster active political participation amongst the Canadian Muslim community.
Vision
To have a fully engaged and politically aware Canadian Muslim community by making politics accessible & easy to understand for all.
A Source of Education
The Canadian-Muslim Vote aims to be a source of education and hopes to mobilize Canadian Muslims to participate in Canadian politics by helping them make informed choices during and between election periods.
Core Values
We are committed to serving Muslim Canadians with humility and dedication, upholding Islamic values through excellence, integrity, and selfless service.
The Canadian Muslim Vote Does not:
- Discriminate (culture, ethnicity, religion or religious sect)
- Support any political party
- Tell you who to vote for
- Lobby for any politician
- Preach religion
Our Impact in Numbers
2.5 M Community touchpoints
Since 2015, TCMV reached 2.5 million touchpoints to the Muslim community through all the campaigns including various events, social media, phone calls, and door knocking.
6.5+ M Online impressions
Our social media earned over 1.5 million impressions during events and activities. Visit My Mosque in had over 5.5 million reach Canada-wide. And our platforms have increased by over 400% since the beginning of 2018.
5000 Homes visited & connected with over 100,000 people
Our dedicated volunteers went door-to-door to promote our message during the 2015 Federal and 2018 Ontario and Quebec Elections. We also set up call banks and automated dialers across provinces to remind and encourage people to Get Out And Vote.
5000+ Guests hosted at our annual community Eid dinners
Our flagship Eid Dinner where over 60 elected officials and party leaders join us for a meal celebrating the end of the holy month of Ramadan. This event helps combat the myths and misconceptions many politicians might have about the Muslim community. We’ve had over 5000 guests and 300 Elected Officials attend our dinners.
In 2023, TCMV established the Civic Leadership Institute to address the underrepresentation of Canadian-Muslims in politics. Our institute encompasses a diverse range of programs and initiatives designed to equip and empower emerging leaders with the skills and knowledge needed to represent the Muslim community in the political landscape.
TCMV has led five successful GOTV campaigns, including three federal and two Ontario provincial elections, empowering Muslim voters to make informed decisions. Through party platform summaries, political interviews, voter education, and community engagement, we reinforce the importance of every voice in shaping Canada’s democracy.
Since its founding, TCMV has engaged the community through impactful initiatives and events. Our Eid Dinners foster dialogue with political leaders, while Women in Politics and Beyond the Vote Summit empower Muslim leaders and youth. Through webinars, school presentations, and community events, we promote voter education and amplify the Muslim voice in Canadian politics.
