Keeping in contact with the local media, law enforcement officials, and political leaders is important in forwarding our goals. Through press releases, various events, and other correspondence, RICMA looks to reach and educate the RI population about Islam and the diverse group of Muslims living in the state. In addition, we try to promote important events -- like the opening of the first Islamic school in Rhode Island, ISRI -- and spread awareness of our opinions on world events and local politics.
RICMA also looks for news and magazine articles, television spots, and other relevant information in order to compile them here for easy reference.
