The COVID-19 crisis created unique challenges for our community. To respond to the evolving needs of our most vulnerable populations during the pandemic, we had to get creative. As a newly established program this past year, CAIR-LA was proud to sponsor and participate in three Mega Food Distribution and Disaster Preparedness Giveaways in Riverside and San Bernardino counties.

We joined with Al Rahma Food Bank , Sahaba Initiative, ISCN, ICR, ICOP, UCR MSA, UCR MESC, LISTOS, His Daughter’s House, the City of Riverside, UC Riverside and the office of State Assembly Majority Leader Eloise Reyes to distribute more than 7,000 food boxes and almost 4,000 Disaster Ready Guides to our local community. #KnowYourCAIR

We express our sincere condolences to the families of those killed in last night's shootings in Georgia that eight people, six of whom were Asian, murdered.

We want to highlight one of our key programs. Our Immigrants’ Rights Center (IRC) offers high-quality, low-cost or pro bono services to individuals otherwise unable to obtain legal assistance. We seek to assist individuals who seek asylum, legal permanent residency, citizenship or reunification with their families, as well as victims of human trafficking, serious crimes, and domestic violence. These photos are from a recent contact-free Naturalization Clinic we held. If you need to speak to an attorney about an immigration issue, contact our IRC at 714.776.1177.

This weekend, CAIR-LA and @listoscalifornia celebrated a noble figure in Black History and gave back to the community. We distributed care kits to over 700 families. Our kits included food items, coloring books for children, and 2,500 disaster-ready guides and COVID-19 vaccination flyers.
Thank you to our 86 volunteers who supported us and made it a memorable weekend for our community.

@Repjudychu and other members of Congress just introduced the #NoBanAct - legislation that would prevent future presidents from banning people based on their religion. While President Biden repealing the #MuslimBan was a good first step, we must ensure this never happens again.

CAIR-LA is partnering with the Sahaba Initiative food bank, the City of Riverside and UC Riverside to coordinate a massive Day of Service Food Giveaway to honor the legacy of "The People's Champion," Muhammad Ali.

The event is set from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday in Lot 30 at UC Riverside, 900 Martin Luther King Blvd., in Riverside.

More than 1,500 food packages, face masks, COVID-19 safety guides and hygiene kits will be distributed to aid underserved communities and families impacted by COVID-19. The items will be distributed in a contact-free manner.

CAIR-LA and faith leaders throughout the state met

CAIR-LA and faith leaders throughout the state met with California Surgeon General Dr. Nadine Burke Harris to get an update on COVID-19 vaccine rollout in the state.

Last weekend, California administered 250,000 vaccines and is looking to deliver even more vaccines in the coming weeks as the vaccine stocks become more readily available.

Shaka King’s new film “Judas and the Black Mes

Shaka King’s new film “Judas and the Black Messiah” is the intersection of CAIR-LA’s work, Hollywood and the legendary martyr Fred Hampton.

Fred Hampton was murdered in a police raid that was later proved to be illegal. The culpability of the FBI, the Police and the state attorney general was implied with a $1.8 million settlement to the victims of the raid.

Fred Hampton remains a commemorable figure who spent his life feeding underserved children, unifying people beyond racial divisions, and combating police abuses of authority.

Fred Hampton remains a commemorable figure who spent his life feeding underserved children, unifying people beyond racial divisions, and combating police abuses of authority.

The COINTELPRO program which was the means of Hampton’s surveillance and ultimate execution was the precursor to a discriminatory 2014 surveillance program called CVE.

CAIR-CA has been successfully defending American civil rights against CVE and other COINTELPRO reincarnations, but that fight continues.

We understand that the celebration of Black history is every day and the conversation and appreciation must go beyond the month of February. But in honor of Black History Month, CAIR-LA wanted to spotlight some of our incredible community leaders who have contributed so much! ⁣
⁣
✨ Sister Khadijah Shabazz is the Co-Founder of Al-Hibah Academy in South Central LA, where she helped students whose parents fell victim to mental illness, gangs, drugs, alcohol and incarceration. As a foster mother, Sr. Khadijah fostered and adopted several kids while raising them as Muslims. Many parents took shahada during their journey.⁣
⁣
✨ Professor Rudolph Bilal Ware is historian of Islam and Africa and a professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara. In addition to dispelling misconceptions about Islam, he is also an author. Some of his books include Jihad of the Pen: The Sufi Literature of West Africa and The Walking Qur’an: Islamic Education, Embodied Knowledge, and History in West Africa.⁣
⁣
✨ The founder of InKerij (pronounced Encourage) and the Director of the ILM Foundation, brother Umar Hakim has continued to distribute essential supplies to the homeless as part of ILM’s Humanitarian Day on Skid Row, located in downtown Los Angeles. Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, The ILM Foundation, an advocate for the homeless, has been designated as an essential organization.⁣
⁣
✨ The late Dr. Abdulmu’min founded the DuBois Institute, which focuses on nurturing and empowering youth and families, especially within the underserved African-American community. Dr. Abdulm’umin was a licensed Clinical Psychologist and professor with more than 35 years of university teaching and experience. He reached out to many delinquent youth and encouraged them to succeed in spite of the prison industrial complex. Although he is no longer with us, Abdulmu'min remains a local hero who touched many lives and still inspires his community members until this day.⁣
⁣
We would like to express our deep gratitude to our community leaders who have paved the way for future generations. ⁣
