2022 Annual Report

We are pleased to bring you our 2022 annual report, which captures the critically important work we did mobilizing Muslim Americans across the country to vote and become more civically engaged.

2021 Annual Report

We are incredibly proud to celebrate Emgage’s 15th year anniversary! Since our founding, our focus remains on building Muslim American civic participation by educating and mobilizing voters. We feel blessed to be able to continue on this journey with you and are excited to share our latest accomplishments.

2020 Annual Report

2020 was a truly historic year for Emgage and Muslim American voters. At the beginning of the year, we knew that the Muslim American community was poised to play a significant role electorally. After years of educating, organizing, and mobilizing, we felt that the community was on the cusp of something truly great. This is why we launched the Million Muslim Votes (MMV) campaign, a first-of-its-kind national effort to motivate and turn out at least one million voters in the 2020 general elections. Thanks to the creativity and dedication of our staff, volunteers, board members, and amazing partners, we turned out a historic number of voters and, with it, changed the narrative of Muslim political engagement.

2017 Annual Report

2017 was a watershed year for Emgage. Although founded almost ten years prior in Florida (formerly as Emerge USA), this year witnessed rapid growth in term of our size, budget, and program offerings.

2016 Annual Report

2016 was a critical year for Emgage and a year where as an organization we hit several first-time accomplishments. For the first time, Emgage ran a Get Out the Vote Campaign across five states for a general election and now has capacity in several battle ground states across the country.

2015 Annual Report

We made some changes to Emerge USA’s structure in 2015 to strengthen the position of our community at achieving our goal to develop a culture that sees voting as an outcome of consistent civic engagement instead of making voting the end goal.

2014 Annual Report

2013 Annual Report

With an increase in voter turnout from approximately 40% in 2006 to over 90% in 2012 we accomplished one of our major goals when starting Emerge USA. We created a cultural shift in the attitude of our communities towards civic engagement. People were no longer asking "why should I vote?" but asked "who should I vote for?"

2012 Annual Report

We entered 2012 with aggressive goals for our three main focus areas: Emerging Voters, Emerging Data, and Emerging Leaders.
