Events
The Ayah Project organizes virtual events such as socials, panels, and group discussions in order to provide a broader level of support to queer Muslims across the country. For in-person events, TAP partners with local groups that can maintain consistency and connection with community members.
Education
Helping grow and share knowledge about the Queer Muslim community is vital to its progress and safety. This includes collecting and sharing stories of Queer Muslims, advocating for community needs, and speaking to those outside the community on ways to be better Allies.
Resources
TAP is dedicated to helping create new resources to support Queer Muslims on their journeys, and helping centralize and better connect people to Queer Muslim knowledge: whether it be scholarly articles, helpful podcasts, external organizations, or local groups.
