(Updated) Joint Endorsement Statement by Muslim Advocacy Organizations

AC Vote Joint Endorsement Statement

Assalamu Alaikum and Peace Be Upon You:

At the outset of this election, over 100 Muslim organizations across Canada reaffirmed a collective responsibility: to vote with a conscience rooted in principles of justice, human dignity, and a vision for a more equitable society for all.

In the spirit of unity, clarity, and collective responsibility, the following five Muslim advocacy organizations — guided by the principles outlined in the Joint Statement of Muslim Organizations on the 2025 Federal Election — have come together to issue endorsements where they held unanimous consensus:

Our Unanimous Endorsements

The above organizations have worked collaboratively to identify candidates who have demonstrated commitment to our principles and to unanimously endorse them. It is our belief that candidates on this list have earned the support of Canadian Muslims in their riding and deserve your vote. We also encourage you to support and volunteer with these candidates.

If you live in any of the below ridings, we encourage you to connect with the endorsed candidate and their campaign team. Get involved—make phone calls, knock on doors, and talk to your family and friends. For your convenience, we've included a link to each candidate's campaign.

What if my riding is not on this list?

It is important to note that the below list is not exhaustive and was not meant to be. If your riding is not included in this list, it does not mean that voting is any less important. It does not mean there aren't great candidates worthy of your vote. It simply means the above five organizations did not unanimously agree to endorse a particular candidate in that riding.

If your riding is not listed, please consult the above advocacy organizations for guidance on candidates who reflect our shared principles.
