Your gift helps record the lived experiences of Muslim Americans before they are lost — funding the recording sessions, the Living Memory Collection, and Unsira, the infrastructure that protects them. Every contribution keeps a voice from disappearing.
It’s time to bring Muslim American lives into the American record.
Your gift pays for the hours. A trained facilitator sits with one person, and a life that was never written down is recorded in that person’s own voice.
No one else is coming to do this. The institutions that decide what this country keeps have had four hundred years. Our lives are still not in the record.
So we are building it ourselves. Every life recorded is captured, preserved, protected, and carried into public life — through exhibitions, public programs, education, and research. Unsira, designed by Peace Pavilion, is what we are building to do this work at scale.
Recurring gifts let us schedule collection months ahead, while a storyteller is still reachable. $25 a month records one story a year.
Give $25/moRecords one person’s lived experience, in their own voice, and preserves it on terms they set.
Give $250Funds a storyteller recorded across more than one sitting. The most important material rarely comes in the first hour.
Give $500Brings an in-person Story Day to a community, guided by our team. About eight lives recorded in a day.
Give $1,500Every gift, at any size, records lived experience that would otherwise be lost. Peace Pavilion Inc. is a registered 501(c)(3) and all gifts are tax deductible.
