New York Muslim Groups Organize To Turn Out Voters In Upcoming Local Elections The profile of New York City’s Muslim population has risen rapidly in recent years. In 2015, the city designated Eid al Fitr and Eid al Adha as school holidays; that same year, Mayor Bill de Blasio added a senior advisor to his Community Affairs Unit with a special focus on Muslim New Yorkers. Meanwhile, Muslim communities in Brooklyn neighborhoods like Little Pakistan in Kensington/Midwood and Bay Ridge have become increasingly active in civic life. Now, a coalition of nonprofits wants to ensure the city’s 770,000-strong Muslim community makes its voice heard at the ballot box. So they’ve launched an organized effort to maximize voter turnout.
