CAIR-CA had not one but two legislative victories

CAIR-CA had not one but two legislative victories yesterday! SB 309, which ensures the right to religious headwear, clothing, and grooming for those incarcerated, just passed the Senate Public Safety Committee. SB 461, which expands paid time off for state employees to include religious/cultural holidays, just passed the Senate Labor Committee. We thank Senators @aishabbwahab and @senatordavecortese for authoring and passing the bills out of committee.

Can you believe #Ramadan is almost over, and #EidA

Can you believe #Ramadan is almost over, and #EidAlFitr is just around the corner? This year, #Eid will most likely fall on Friday, April 21—a weekday. For those of us with work or school, it can be challenging to celebrate Eid when it falls on a weekday. The good news is that #California law generally allows you to request time off from work or school for religious holidays, and you are protected from being retaliated against. We know it can be intimidating to ask your boss or your school for time off, so we've created two templates you can send them! Visit bit.ly/ramadan-accommodations to download them.

Check out this news coverage of CAIR-CA's 17th Annual Capitol Ramadan Iftar last night! Approximately 150 California lawmakers, leaders, and advocates within the #Muslim community gathered at the Capitol to celebrate and recognize Muslim communities in #California and the significance of the month of #Ramadan! It was particularly exciting to be joined by Muslim lawmakers Senator @aishabbwahab and Assemblyman @billessayli who made history in the November 2022 elections, with Essayli being the first American Muslim to be elected to the California Assembly and Wahab being the first Afghan American to ever be elected to public office in the United States, and the first American Muslim to be elected to the California Senate!

Act now: Urge @Potus @Joebiden and Congress to condemn #Israel's attack on #Palestinians observing #Ramadan at #AlAqsa. For Palestinians living under #Israeli occupation, Ramadan has historically been and continues to be a period of increased violence by Israeli forces. This year has been no exception. On April 5 and 6, Israeli forces stormed the holy site, firing stun grenades and tear gas at #Palestinian worshipers offering Ramadan prayers. We call on the Biden administration to take immediate action to condemn this attack and address the U.S. policies that enable Israel’s ongoing aggression towards the Palestinian people. It is our moral duty as #Americans, whose tax money funds Israel’s #apartheid against Palestinians, to take a firm stance against Israel’s consistent human rights violations and work towards a just and lasting resolution to the occupation.
