Resources for Mosque & Institutional Security
It is critical to take precautions to keep our community institutions safe and secure. Muslim Advocates has organized key resources on mosque and institutional security from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and other government agencies.
The materials provide special guidance to mosque, Islamic school, and Muslim community leaders on anticipating, preparing for, and reacting to anti-Muslim hate and bigotry.
Please feel free to distribute these documents freely to mosques, schools, and other institutions.
