About us.

We are the Muslim Social Justice Initiative (MSJI) — a youth-led, grassroots collective of Black and Global Majority Muslims in Manchester.

COLLECTIVE POWER

We exist because the world we live in is designed to erase, exclude, and criminalise us.

Islam and being Muslim have been racialised in the UK, leading to policing, surveillance, state violence, and community harm.

At the same time, many mainstream Muslim spaces fail to meet the needs of the most marginalised among us.

We are building alternative futures.

Our work

📢 We organise political education, community resistance, and radical spaces that centre joy, healing, and justice.

📢 We prioritise those most erased within our communities — our work is decolonial so we challenge all forms of oppression.

📢 We work in coalition with grassroots anti-racist groups across the UK and the world, because our struggles are connected.

Since 2023, we’ve built a powerful community, created spaces of resistance, and amplified the voices of those who are often pushed to the margins.
