From state houses to Congress, election season is upon us. What does the November’s outcome mean for voting rights in the U.S.? Join us for a conversation to discuss the future of voting rights.
We believe that, occasionally, one talented individual is best equipped to break open a new way of thinking about our most calcified systems and propel important national conversations forward. That’s why we support individuals as Fellows. Our Fellows are social entrepreneurs, writers, scientists, lawyers, artists, academics, and beyond, who are advancing important new work in education, immigration, the environment, social justice, media, and health.
Sign up for updates.

Luma Mufleh is the founder and CEO of Fugees Family, a nonprofit creating spaces for refugee children to learn, play, and realize their potential. A Jordanian immigrant and Muslim of Syrian descent, Luma founded Fugees Family in 2006 after founding and coaching the Fugees soccer team in Clarkston, Georgia. Her story – and the story of the Fugees – illustrates both the American dream and the very real challenges of integration and discrimination that so many face today.

Prior to joining the Collective, Marcy spent over a decade in and around progressive causes, including serving as vice president of communications at EMILY’s List, deputy communications director at Priorities USA and working on a range of statewide and local campaigns.
