About us
Muslim Social Justice Initiative (MSJI) is a Muslim-led site of political education, cultural work, publishing, and community infrastructure based in Manchester.
COLLECTIVE POWER
The world we live in is structured to erase, exclude, and criminalise Muslim life.
In the UK, Islam has been racialised through policing, surveillance, and state violence — producing harm across our communities.
In response, we build our own spaces beyond the institutions that do not serve us, centring those most impacted and creating the conditions for collective liberation.
We are building alternative futures.

Our work
We build spaces of political education, cultural resistance and community care — spaces that centre dignity, healing and justice.
We centre those most targeted by empire, recognising that liberation must be collective or it is not liberation at all.
We work in solidarity with grassroots movements across the UK and the Global South, understanding our struggles as shared and interconnected.
Through MSJI Press, we produce and circulate Muslim political thought that strengthens a culture oriented towards liberation.
