MISSIONIMAN is a community-based nonprofit that works for social justice, delivers a range of direct services, and cultivates the arts in urban communities.

BACKGROUNDIMAN grew from the efforts of a group of concerned Muslim community members who came together to respond to the pervasive symptoms of poverty and marginalization on Chicago’s Southwest Side. They created IMAN and incorporated it as a 501 c (3) organization in 1997.

VISIONIMAN will be, God willing, a national Muslim nonprofit leader in social change, service delivery and artistic excellence. Muslims in other urban centers will draw on IMAN’s model for dynamic civic engagement in their communities and the larger society.

Dear IMAN Friends,

Assalamu Alaikum and Peace Be Upon You. We live in paradoxical times where great opportunity and extraordinary challenges confront many of us organizing and working for positive change in the community. With the blessings of the Most High and the leadership and support of so many of you, IMAN has done all it can to seize as much of this opportunity as we could over these last two years.

In 2008 and 2009, we initiated new and strengthened existing programs. In 2009, with funding from the City of Chicago, we began a Green Reentry Project that is converting foreclosed and vandalized homes in Chicago Lawn into “green” housing. IMAN will use the renovations of these homes to provide on-the-job training for the formerly incarcerated, and to provide transitional housing for our brothers reentering the community.

Also in 2009, through the generosity of an individual donor, we purchased a new building at 2747 W. 63rd St.; now we are exploring ideas on the use of this 15,000 square foot property for our operations and the benefit of communities we serve. We obtained a Presidential Discretionary Grant from the Marguerite Casey Foundation to conduct a study of the feasibility and potential for local IMAN initiatives in large urban centers such as New York City and Washington D.C. Our leadership role within many social justice coalitions and the evolution of Takin’ it to the Streets into a week-long Urban International Festival expected to draw 20,000 people to Chicago this year are further illustrations of large-impact programs in which we have invested our energy and innovative spirit.

The Fruits of Your IMAN luncheon in December of 2009, which many of you attended, was a befitting way for us to cap these last two years of growth. This event marked the successful completion of The Grow Your IMAN Campaign, a three-year $1.75 million comprehensive campaign to enable us to purchase our main center and expand our programs as described throughout this two-year report.

Success, growth and the recognition they attract, however, bring their own challenges. Staying true to the principles and the people that drive us and our vision is only the most obvious of these mandates. We intend to meet this and similar challenges by holding ourselves accountable to the Most High and to you, our friends and donors.

Finally, as we look forward to sustaining and building on our efforts to inspire, serve and forge a vision of justice and dignity for the most marginalized and neglected among us, we pray to the Most High that He always bless our endeavors and strengthen our convictions and resolve. We also hope and pray that our efforts remain worthy of your continued prayers and support.

Salaams and Peace,

Rami NashashibiExecutive Director

Alliance BuildingIMAN believes strongly in the need to create long-term alliances that bridge cultural, racial, ethnic and religious divides. We seek to develop and work in alliances that are deeply grounded in a sense of mutual trust and commitment to a common vision for change using a grassroots human rights framework.

Change through ServiceIMAN believes that providing health care, youth programming and career development services changes not only those who receive our services but also those who provide them, thus creating a holistic approach to social change. IMAN’s organizing efforts are led by community members, including those who access our key services such as free health care, economic and professional development courses, and transitional housing for ex-offenders.

Inspire: Art and Culture as Vehicles of Social ChangeIMAN believes in the power of the arts to inspire and influence social change. For IMAN, leadership by artists plays a critical role in educating, galvanizing and inspiring our base. Art infuses organizing efforts with a type of cultural relevance that can make the work more dynamic and cutting-edge. IMAN seeks the synergy between art and culture to reach audiences and remain grounded in grassroots community efforts and working for change.

IMAN PRINCIPLES OF CHANGE

Spiritually Grounded & Broadly InformedIMAN’s work and vision is driven by Islam’s emphasis on mercy, compassion, service and justice as transformative forces for positive social change. IMAN also looks to the rich and diverse organizing

traditions in the U.S. and across the world for inspiration. IMAN seeks to infuse the best of those models with an understanding of the Muslim spiritual tradition as a way of effectively reaching and mobilizing its own base of leaders across Chicagoland, the state of Illinois and the country.

Led by the Most AffectedIMAN passionately believes that work toward social change should be led by those of us directly and broadly affected by the issues, our families, and those who live with the consequences of poverty and social disparities in the inner-city.

Across Socioeconomic DividesIMAN believes in leveraging resources, relationships, skills and expertise across socioeconomic divides in addressing the challenges and struggles confronting marginalized urban communities. Furthermore, IMAN aspires to leverage these relationships to stimulate socially-conscious business development and to generate jobs, revenue and social capital in service of its larger vision.

Intergenerational IMAN believes in advocacy and organizing work that is intergenerational. The dynamism and drive of young adults combined with the wisdom and experience of elders allows for efforts that take into consideration larger social context and historical continuity. Within the larger Muslim community, intergeneration-driven efforts that provide space for youth leadership, while showing deference to cultural elders, speak to a sense of holistic community.

EXECUTIVE FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM

In 2009, IMAN launched the Executive Fellowship Program to help us transition to our next level of organizational development. The first three Executive Fellows started their one-year positions in the summer and fall of 2009.

YOUTH BOARD MEMBERS

In 2008, three members of the IMAN Youth Council (IYC) joined the IMAN Board. The presence of these young Board Members will allow the Board and staff to better evaluate whether or not IMAN’s programming meets the needs of young people.

PROJECT RESTOREProject Restore, launched in 2005, is based on IMAN’s deeply held idea that many within the formerly incarcerated community can, with resources and the right opportunity, restore a sense of self, family, community and justice.

Green ReentryIMAN’s Green Reentry Project was one of the eight recipients of the “Community Green Jobs” funding from the City of Chicago’s Department of Environment. This project seeks to convert vacant/foreclosed and vandalized properties within the Chicago Lawn Community into vibrant, environmentally sound (green) transition housing for formerly incarcerated individuals. IMAN will use the renovations of these homes to provide on-the-job training for formerly incarcerated individuals, and the converted homes will provide housing for individuals reentering society.

Community Safe Zone

The Community Safe Zone targets the key and interconnected issues of public safety, employment and housing by addressing the continuous rise of violence that affects the lives of youth and their families on Chicago’s Southwest Side. The Community Safe Zone was implemented in the summers of 2008 and 2009 through a series of community events such as Youth Job Fairs, summer employment, and weekly block events and 3-on-3 basketball tournaments.

PARTNERSHIP WITH BANK OF AMERICA TO ALLEVIATE THE FORECLOSURE CRISISIn recognition of the devastating effects of the national and regional foreclosure crisis on the Southwest Side of Chicago, IMAN worked with the Southwest Organizing Project (SWOP) in developing a partnership with Bank of America to ensure that hundreds of families can stay in their homes.


P. 12

IMAN SESSIONSIn 2009, IMAN started a new biweekly community event called IMAN Sessions. IMAN Sessions are especially designed to create a relational community through conversation, perspectives and personal narratives.

UCCRO AND THE STRUGGLE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS

As a leading member organization of the United Congress of Community and Religious Organizations (UCCRO), IMAN continued to build coalitions across racial, ethnic and religious boundaries.

IMAN and UCCRO are developing organizing and advocacy campaigns around a grassroots struggle for human rights.

Sharing Stories, Connecting IssuesThe critical challenge in coalition building is creating cross-community solidarity around issues that seemingly affect only one marginalized community. The criminal justice system and African Americans, immigration policies and Latino Americans, and foreign and national security policies and Muslim Americans are some obvious examples of such issues that IMAN and UCCRO have connected by sharing stories that explore their common causes and consequences.

“Gaza and MLK: Implications for Multi-Racial & Interfaith Alliance-

Building in Urban Communities” was an example of the power

and possibilities of such conversations, connections and solidarity.

Muslims, Christians, Jews and others got together on Martin

Luther King Jr. Day in 2009 to celebrate the legacy of the great

civil rights leader and explore its relevance to the then ongoing

crisis in Gaza.”

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT/ORGANIZING TRAININGThis training prepares IMAN leaders for organizing around issues such as disproportionate incarceration, substandard education, access to health care, inhumane immigration policies, and the criminalization of marginalized communities.

CURRICULUMIMAN developed a formal curriculum and conducted a series of leadership development and organizing training sessions to introduce community members, leaders and activists to grassroots organizing concepts and strategies. A uniquely powerful aspect of this curriculum is that it explicitly grounds basic organizing concepts and strategies in the Muslim prophetic and spiritual traditions.

YOUTH ORGANIZINGYouth organizers and leaders are an integral part of all IMAN organizing and leadership development efforts. We conducted several youth-specific programs and training sessions in 2008-2009. Among them were sending young IMAN leaders to a two-week human rights training hosted by the United Congress of Community and Religious Organizations (UCCRO) and a youth-only community organizing training session.

EQUAL VOICE FOR AMERICA’S FAMILIES CAMPAIGN.In September 2008, IMAN mobilized families to be part of the Equal Voice for America’s Families Convention, a national campaign organized by Marguerite Casey Foundation in order to advocate for policy and attitude changes affecting poor and working-class families. As a regional steering committee member, IMAN helped shape the event program which gathered 3,000 families at Navy Pier, in Chicago. This convention produced a “National Family Platform” that identified key issues faced by families across America, and demanded that these issues be tackled immediately and comprehensively.

In February 2009, IMAN, UCCRO leaders and family representatives were part of a 150-strong delegation that went to Washington, D.C. to advocate for the National Family Platform.

GRASSROOTS EDUCATION AND MOBILIZATIONState of Race ConferenceIn October 2008, UCCRO and IMAN hosted a State of Race Conference to explore the history of racism and the systemic and structural nature of contemporary racism. The conference also underscored the imperative of organizing and winning together for communities of color.

Grassroots Human Rights SummitIn October 2009, UCCRO reconvened key leaders and supporters for its second annual conference, which provided a set of principles, priorities and policies to enable UCCRO’s leaders to address issues that our communities face within a grassroots human rights framework.

IMMIGRATION REFORMImmigration policies affect individuals, families and communities in the same way that the criminal justice system does.

In August 2009, IMAN and UCCRO organized an Immigration Town Hall, during which community leaders from across Chicago appealed to members of the Congressional Black Caucus for comprehensive immigration reform. Members of the Muslim community also made the connection between issues of immigration and criminal justice and were an important part of this mobilization and multicultural alliance. In June 2009, IMAN hosted a similar event organized by the Southwest Organizing Project (SWOP).

IMAN also conducted a series of “Know Your Rights!” immigration workshops to raise awareness among immigrant communities of their rights with respect to immigration policies.

EDUCATION REFORMIMAN and UCCRO organized community members around education reform through a campaign called Parents and Residents Invested in Schools and Education (PRISE). This initiative sought to mobilize people who are aware of the needs, goals and achievements of students. Community leaders were formally trained in effective organizing and advocating around issues specific to education policy and funding reform.

MUSLIM RUN? A CAMPAIGN FOR HEALTH, WELLNESS AND HEALING Muslim, especially Arab, immigrant-owned food and liquor stores are common in predominantly African-American and low-income communities on Chicago’s South and West Sides.

Racial tensionsThese stores too often create problematic relations and dynamics between residents and store owners.

As a Muslim organization that understands the shared marginalization of both immigrant store owners and residents in these urban communities, IMAN seeks to alter perceptions and realities of exploitation and disrespect on both sides.

The Muslim Run? campaign not only aims to meet the challenge of creating alternative, socially responsible and empowering business practices for these businesses, but it also seeks to cease the opportunity for healing and building relationships between Arab store owners and Black residents.

Food desertsFood deserts are areas with limited access to affordable and nutritious foods. Many low-income communities in Chicago are food deserts.

As a health services provider in urban Chicago, IMAN understands that the alleviation of food deserts will have an extremely positive effect on public health in the communities it serves.

The Muslim Run? campaign seeks to address the issue of food deserts in low-income communities by improving access to healthy foods in such communities by using these immigrant-owned stores.

The Muslim Run? campaign embraces a broad set of principles, inspired by the higher ideals of the Muslim faith and the legacy of the Black-owned business model. To be a Muslim Run business is more than simply agreeing not to sell liquor or other products; it is to uphold a set of empowering ideals and principles about treating community residents with dignity and respect and to function as an engine of economic and social development.

DIRECT SERVICES

HEALTH CLINICIMAN believes that adequate and quality health care is a basic human right. IMAN’s Health Clinic manifests this belief with its mission of providing high-quality, comprehensive, accessible and culturally-competent health care to its diverse patient population.

IMAN’s Health Clinic has become a leading provider in the community that delivers primary health care and support services to the largely uninsured population of Chicago’s Southwest Side. In addition to treating patients every Sunday, the Clinic’s hours expanded in 2008 to include Thursday afternoons. Our reach continues to grow through

more than 25 volunteer physicians, nurses and other medical staff who continue to give their time and heart to the Clinic.

In 2009, the Health Clinic acquired a new and larger waiting room. This will allow

us to better serve our patients, as we continually strive to improve the quantity and quality of the care we provide to them.

HEALTH & EDUCATION WORKSHOPSIMAN hosted workshops that provided information on hospital charity care programs, public aid programs, access to health care, and prevention or management of chronic diseases common to the community it serves.

In one such program, IMAN partnered with Prevent Blindness America to launch a Diabetic Eye Disease Educator Certification Program.

HEALTH CARE POLICYIn March of 2009, IMAN and American Muslim Health Professionals (AMHP) hosted a dialogue between health care professionals, policy makers and experts, and residents of Chicago’s Marquette Park neighborhood.

FREE MEDICATION PROGRAMIn December 2009, the Health Clinic started to offer a Patient Assistance Medication Program. Patients who live below the poverty line and have no medical insurance will be offered free medications through this program.

HEALTH CLINIC PARTNERSHIPSThe Health Clinic has continued to create and develop partnerships with social and medical service organizations. Some of these partner organizations are Islamic Relief, the Community Development Block Grant program, Prevent Blindness America, Grant Healthcare Foundation, CommunityHealth and MedAccess Chicago, and The Silver Lining Foundation.

HEALTH CLINIC TO HIRE FULL-TIME MEDICAL DIRECTORThrough the generous support of an anonymous Muslim family foundation, IMAN has secured funding to hire a full-time medical director. This represents a landmark in the clinic’s growth, because the position of medical director will allow us to expand into a full-time operation.

IMAN is continuing to interview for a full-time physician to lead its future growth. We seek to hire and cultivate a dynamic and talented individual who is committed to social change and service in the inner-city.

ICDI PROGRAMSIMAN’s Career Development Initiative (ICDI) has been successfully addressing the disparities of employment in low-income areas by providing basic computer literacy training to the diverse population of Chicago Lawn for the last nine years.

GrowthIn 2008, ICDI moved into a larger space with an improved computer lab, added financial management and job readiness courses, and developed curriculum for strong vocational training programs. In 2009, ICDI successfully graduated 274 students.

Financial ManagementIn a community where banks use predatory policies and services targeting working-class, low-income individuals, IMAN seeks to empower people to take control of their financial situation through a free six-week financial management course.

Job Readiness ProgramThe Job Readiness Workshop focuses on personal and career development of individuals with disproportionally limited educational and social opportunities. This program is unique in that it helps individuals to discover, develop and present their unique skills and gets them to stand out in the job market.

Summer Reading ProgramICDI conducted free weekly summer reading programs to help students, grades one through seven, learn English through vocabulary building, spelling and comprehension exercises.

Summer Jobs for YouthIn 2009, IMAN partnered with Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) to help local youth find summer jobs as part of a citywide initiative called Youth Ready Chicago. Through this program, approximately 50 youth between the ages of 16 and 24 received job skills training and jobs with willing neighborhood employers.

IMAN YOUTH COUNCIL-YOUTH WORK

Young ResearchersIn October 2009, IMAN Youth Council (IYC) leaders Tariq Simpkins, Sadia Nawab, and Ameenah Muhammad were hired to work as Fellows with the Pipeline for Policy Professions Program. The program’s goal is to develop a group of minority youth into adults with the knowledge and tools to make a positive impact on their communities.

Each One, Teach OneIYC’s Each One Teach One engages youth on various frontiers and provides a platform through which youth learn from other youth.

Pillars of IMANPillars of IMAN worked to empower youth into effective community leaders, who can help to facilitate social change in our communities and give back to the greater society through individualized mentorships and weekly programming.

After School MattersMedia affects young people profoundly, yet their voices are often missing from the media. In 2008 and 2009, After School Matters provided hundreds of community youth hands-on training in the use of digital media technologies such as digital video and weblogs. These valuable skills enable youth to tell their own stories through the use of state-of-the-art media.

Digital Media MastersThrough Digital Media Masters, ICDI worked to bridge the digital divide often found in low-income neighborhoods. The program empowered students to create and distribute digital media through the Internet using the latest tools, techniques and open-source software. Such skills will be highly useful in allowing communities to create their own streams of income as well as imparting marketable job skills for further career development.

ARTS & CULTUREIMAN Arts and Culture continued the Muslim tradition of creating powerful artistic movements that celebrate our oneness as humans. IMAN cultivates the arts as a dynamic forum to facilitate cross-cultural understanding and create community depth and purpose that can drive social change.

COMMUNITY CAFÉCommunity Café, established in 2003 as a Muslim-led effort through which socially conscious people can celebrate and engage in diverse and creative artistic expression, expanded during the last two years. In 2008, Community Café moved to Parkway Ballroom, a historic ballroom located in the heart of Chicago’s Bronzeville neighborhood, in order to accommodate its growing audiences. Since then, the Café has attracted more than 400 people during each bimonthly edition.

In February 2008, a special Community Café celebrated Black History Month at DePaul University’s Merle Reskin Theatre, bringing together a diverse group of more than 900 people.

In January 2009, Community Café expanded beyond Chicago with a special edition at New York City’s Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz Memorial and Educational Center. IMAN drew on the energy, relationship-building and excitement behind this effort to launch a national feasibility study.

ARTS & LEADERSHIP RETREAT 2008In October 2008, IMAN held its biennial Arts and Leadership Retreat, sponsored by the Doris Duke Foundation for Islamic Art. The spiritual retreat brought together 70 musicians, vocalists, filmmakers, dancers, comedians and community activists from around the country to discuss Muslim cultural identity and the role of artists as agents for social change. The retreat was also a time for the artists to share their creative work and make connections for future collaborative projects.


P. 26

TAKIN’ IT TO THE STREETS EXPANDED TO AN “URBAN INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL”Takin’ it to the Streets is a Muslim-led celebration of arts and civic engagement that connects diverse communities around shared artistic expressions and visions of social change. Since 1997, Streets’ attendance and impact have grown significantly. In 2009, IMAN announced its evolution into “Streets 2010: Urban International Festival,” a full week of free art and culture events that embrace a new Muslim cultural renaissance. Streets 2010 will run from June 13-19.

PARTNERSHIPS WITH CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS.In 2009, IMAN started to take its Arts and Culture programming to the next level. As it made global connections, IMAN also bridged contemporary and traditional Muslim art forms to explore their diversity and breadth.

In June 2009, IMAN partnered with the Old Town School of Folk Music to host a special event with Faiz Ali Faiz, a world-renowned qawwali musician from Pakistan. In September, we partnered with the City of Chicago’s Department of Cultural Affairs to bring the popular Iraqi oud musician Rahim Al-Hajj to the annual Chicago World Music Festival.

LEADERS OF THE NEW SCHOOLLaunched in 2008, Leaders of the New School partnered youth from the South Side of Chicago with artists and mentors to address community issues through hip hop and other urban arts. Since its start, Leaders of the New School has continued to cultivate new and upcoming artists.

IMAN PRODUCTIONSIn 2009, Leaders of the New School evolved into IMAN Productions, and created Indigo and Soundright, two all-women groups that perform in and around Chicago. IMAN Productions also presented Bollywood Breaks, a three-act East-meets-West play that premiered at the July 2009 Community Café.

MEDIA SIGHTINGSIMAN was highlighted in several media outlets as a leading Muslim voice in urban issues

IMAN is the only Islamic organization mentioned in former President William Clinton’s book, Giving.

“Muslims are expected to remove stumbling blocks that keep others from living a full life and to do so voluntarily without self-promotion or earthly reward. The activities of local groups in the United States like the Inner-City Muslim Action Network of Chicago and the rise of modern universities and medical research institutions in the Persian Gulf reflect this kind of giving.”

In the summer of 2008 we started our first monthly newsletter “the Urban Edge.”

OUTREACH IMAN’s work provides critical insights to those seeking to understand the American Muslim identity and the important civic role that Muslims play in the inner-city. People and organizations from all over the world visited IMAN in 2008 and 2009. Some examples include visitors through the US Department of State’s international Visitor Leadership Program from France, Kuwait, Germany, Jordan, Philippines, Pakistan, Yemen, United Arab Emirates and several other countries. IMAN also hosted The White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships during the summer of 2009.

YOUR IMAN GROWING

THE GROW YOUR IMAN CAMPAIGNIn 2007, the tenth anniversary of its commitment to serve, inspire and change in the inner-city, IMAN launched The Grow Your IMAN Campaign (TGYIC), a three-year $1.75 million comprehensive fundraising campaign. TGYIC sought to raise community-generated gifts and pledges to help IMAN purchase its newly renovated building as well as provide operating support for its programs and seed money for a revenue-generating venture project.

In December 2009, IMAN successfully concluded this campaign with a “Fruits of Your IMAN” luncheon in Chicago’s Hyatt Regency hotel. U.S. Congressman Keith Ellison delivered the keynote address at this event.

ACQUISITION OF THE PROPERTY AT 2747 W 63RD STREETIn 2009, through the generous support of an individual donor, IMAN purchased the building at 2747 63rd Street, directly across the street from its current facility. We are exploring a range of ideas and possibilities for how to best use this 15,000 square foot property for our operations and the benefit of communities we serve.

NATIONAL FEASIBILITY STUDYIMAN has always envisioned that Muslims in other urban centers would draw on its model for dynamic civic engagement in their communities and the larger society. As several Muslim communities expressed persistent interest in bringing IMAN to their cities, IMAN decided to undertake a feasibility study to forecast the challenges and opportunities that other urban centers could bring. The Marguerite Casey Foundation provided a Presidential Discretionary Grant to fund this study.

Based on the findings of this feasibility study, the cities of New York and Washington D.C. were selected for establishing the first local IMAN initiatives outside of Chicago.
