CAIR-CA today commended California Governor Gavin Newsom on his victory in the Gubernatorial Recall Election. Governor Newsom has been a strong ally of Muslims, immigrants, and communities of color throughout his tenure.

Most recently, the Governor and other legislative leaders issued a strong statement of support for Afghan arrivals who will be residing in California. The Governor’s decision came days after he and several members of his administration met with CAIR-CA and other Afghan- and Muslim-led organizations calling for comprehensive support of Afghans arriving in California.
