American Muslim Advisory Council

What American Muslim Advisory Council does

The American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC) is a Tennessee-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2019 and headquartered at 2195 Nolensville Pike in Nashville. It delivers advocacy, civic engagement, and direct service programs to Muslim communities across the state, with its primary beneficiary base being Muslim individuals and families in Tennessee and secondary service populations including low-income residents facing eviction, Limited English Proficient immigrants, and Muslim students experiencing faith-based bullying. Its core programmatic offerings include the Eviction Right to Counsel (ERTC) free legal services program in Davidson County, the Muslim Resource Services (MRS) confidential hotline serving Shelby County, youth leadership programs in Nashville and Memphis, a School Advocacy Hub, a Community Defense Hub, Digital Literacy Courses, the Empowering Women Conference, and the annual Muslim Day on the Hill advocacy event at the Tennessee State Capitol.

AMAC operates a community-led go-to-market model rather than a technology platform: services are delivered through in-person workshops, legal clinics, hotline support, and statewide events, while its website (amactn.org) functions as a multi-language resource hub with content in Arabic, Kurdish, Somali, and Spanish. The organization funds its operations through community donations and government/foundation grants, notably Metro Nashville City Council support for the ERTC program. It employs 1-10 staff and relies on volunteer mobilization plus an established partner network (Legal Aid Society of Middle Tennessee, Nashville Hispanic Bar Association, Rooftop Nashville, Nashville Conflict Resolution Center, ACLU-TN, OSOL Coalition) for service delivery across legal, housing, immigration, and civic domains. All services are provided free of charge to community members.

Reported program outcomes include assistance to approximately 1,400 individuals facing eviction, an estimated $4.5 million in public cost savings from eviction prevention, 41 outreach events reaching 14,000+ community members between June 2023 and May 2024, over 130 RSVPs for the 2025 Muslim Day on the Hill, and the launch of the sixth cohort of its Youth Leadership Program. Leadership comprises Executive Director Sabina Mohyuddin, West TN Program Manager Amal Altareb, and Youth Leadership Program Sponsor Dr. Berthena Nabaa-McKinney (Nashville School Board District 4). AMAC has been active in litigation and policy, including filing a federal language access complaint with the OSOL Coalition and an amicus brief in Harris v. Lee challenging National Guard deployment to Memphis.

Direct peers

• American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC): Arab-American civil rights organization. Comparable anti-discrimination and community advocacy mission serving a related (though distinct) Muslim-heritage community through legal services, policy work, and community education.
• Conexión Américas: Nashville-based Latino-focused community organization providing immigrant integration, civic engagement, and economic opportunity programs. Highly comparable to AMAC in terms of geography, immigrant-services model, and multi-language service delivery.
• Muslim Advocates: National Muslim civil rights legal and policy organization. Comparable in focus on anti-discrimination legal advocacy and policy engagement, though primarily operating through litigation and federal policy work rather than direct services.
• Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition (TIRRC): Nashville-based statewide immigrant advocacy organization. TIRRC shares AMAC's Tennessee operating geography, civic engagement focus, and coalition-style advocacy on language access and immigrant rights, making it the closest state-level peer.
• Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR): The largest U.S. Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization. CAIR's mission to combat anti-Muslim discrimination, provide legal services, and engage in policy advocacy directly overlaps with AMAC's community defense, Know Your Rights, and civil liberties work, though at a national scale.
• Emgage: Muslim civic engagement organization focused on voter mobilization and policy advocacy. Directly comparable in mission to mobilize Muslim communities politically, overlapping with AMAC's Muslim Day on the Hill and voter registration activities.
• Rooftop Nashville: Nashville-based tenants' rights and housing justice nonprofit. A direct operational partner of AMAC in the ERTC program with overlapping mission in eviction prevention and tenant rights education for low-income residents.

Broad incumbents

• Tennessee Justice Center: Tennessee-based legal advocacy organization focused on economic justice and access to public benefits. Comparable in state-level legal advocacy and serving low-income communities, particularly through the right-to-counsel-style work AMAC delivers in housing.
• Catholic Charities of Tennessee: Tennessee branch of a national faith-based social services organization. Overlaps with AMAC in immigrant services, refugee resettlement, and direct social-service delivery to under-resourced communities across the state.

Emerging players

• MPower Change: National Muslim-American social justice organization focused on civic engagement and advocacy. Comparable in mission to mobilize Muslim communities, though operating more through digital organizing and national campaigns rather than direct services.
