Ani Zonneveld is a writer, a singer/songwriter, speaker and a human rights defender. She speaks and sings her message of social justice, human rights, and peace from a progressive Muslim women’s perspective. Born and raised Muslim from Malaysia and based out of Los Angeles, she spearheads the progressive Muslim movement both internationally and in the U.S.
Muslims for Progressive Values (MPV) is a grassroots, faith-based human rights organization. Founded in 2007, MPV advocates for egalitarian expressions of Islam, for women’s rights, LGBTQI rights, freedom of expression, and freedom of and from religion or belief. MPV promotes these values at the United Nations by challenging human rights abuses in the name of Islam, and by offering an inclusive understanding based on universal human rights and justice.
At the grassroots level, MPV’s services to the Muslim community include inclusive spiritual spaces, youth involvement, interfaith and same-sex marriages, and forums in countering radical thought. MPV promotes these values through its network of chapters and affiliates in Los Angeles, Atlanta, New York, Washington DC, Chicago, Columbus, Canada, France, Bangladesh, Chile, Australia, Germany, The Netherlands, Malaysia, Burundi and Tunisia.
