The endorsement was disclosed in a statement signed by the Chairman of Muslim Media Corporation, Sheikh Musa Drammeh, on Thursday June 8, 2023.

MMC proudly announced its endorsement of Yusef Salaam for the New York City Council District 9 in Harlem.

According Sheikh Drammeh, Yusef Salaam, a member of the Exonerated Five and a lifelong resident of Harlem, embodies the values and aspirations of our community.

“We wholeheartedly endorse Yusef Salaam for New York City Council District 9. His unwavering commitment to justice, advocacy for the marginalized, and dedication to uplifting our community make him the ideal candidate to represent Harlem,” said Drammeh.

Yusef Salaam’s personal journey, as a victim of a broken criminal justice system, has fueled his passion for change and inspired him to advocate for the rights of the marginalized.

Through his activism, education, and platform as a renowned inspirational speaker, Salaam has been a powerful voice against mass incarceration, police brutality, and the inequalities inherent in our justice system.

Also speaking on the endorsement, Mutiu Olawuyi, the CEO of Muslim Media Corporation, stated, “Yusef Salaam’s remarkable journey and his tireless efforts to address the systemic challenges in our society resonate deeply with us. We believe he will be a strong advocate for our community’s concerns.”

With his extensive involvement in organizations such as the Innocence Project, Justice 4 the Wrongfully Incarcerated, and the Frederick E. Samuel Community Democratic Club, Yusef Salaam possesses a deep understanding of the issues that Harlem residents face daily.

Muslim Media Corporation recognizes Salaam’s dedication and expertise, making him a compelling choice for City Council.

“Yusef Salaam’s knowledge, experience, and commitment to the well-being of our community make him an outstanding candidate to represent District 9,” remarked Drammeh.

Yusef Salaam’s campaign is centered around the core values of unity, justice, and community empowerment.

He aims to create a diverse coalition that amplifies the voices of all constituents, including working-class individuals, voters of color, and those who have grown disenchanted with the political process.

By addressing the systemic issues that impact our community, Salaam seeks to inspire and mobilize a new generation of voters eager for change.

Muslim Media Corporation calls upon the residents of Harlem to unite behind Yusef Salaam’s campaign and support his bid for New York City Council District 9.

Together, we can work towards a brighter future for all residents of Harlem.
