PORTLAND, OREGON — Interfaith Desk

The Abraham Movement now have a registered home in the United States. The Abrahamic Movement USA, a nonprofit whose bylaws set its mission as infusing the Accords with moral and spiritual meaning, was announced by founder Tom Wegner, founder of The Abrahamic Movement, author of The Abrahamic Revolution and a speaker on Jewish–Muslim dialogue.

The organization is incorporated in the State of Oregon as a public benefit nonprofit corporation, and the IRS has recognized it as a 501(c)(3) public charity, meaning donations to it are tax-deductible.

The Mission

According to its bylaws, the organization’s mission is to infuse the Abraham Accords with moral and spiritual meaning for Jewish, Muslim, Christian and minority communities through cultural, educational and diplomatic work, transforming the shared Abrahamic legacy into a lived reality of reconciliation and global stability.

Anila Ali Named President

Wegner said he appointed Anila Ali as President of The Abrahamic Movement USA, at the head of a board of directors he will present soon. He described her as a leading figure in both Pakistan and the United States.

Ali was born in Karachi into a family devoted to public service. Her father, Qutubuddin Aziz, was a diplomat, author and journalist, and a leading figure of the Pakistan Movement.

A Record in Pakistan and the United States

In 2022 she led an interfaith delegation to Israel and the UAE and met with President Herzog. In December 2025 she led a delegation of 13 Muslim American leaders to Israel, and in 2025 she became the first Muslim woman recognized by Hadassah on its list of “18 American Zionist Women You Should Know.”
