It’s still in place, with a new #AfricanBan alongside it.
Trump’s Muslim Ban should be just that: history

We also rallied in Fresno to celebrate the DACA decision! We were proud to stand (and drive) alongside our friends at @siren_immigrantrights! During the rally outside the office of Congressman Nunes, we made our voices heard, honked and cheered to let everyone know #HomeIsHere!
As the work continues, we will keep fighting together against racism and white supremacy in all its forms - whether it shows up as xenophobia through an attack on immigrants, manifests as Islamophobia through the Muslim Ban, or shows up as anti-Black racism which has targeted Black families through police violence and brutality! #HereToStay #IStandWithDreamers

Today we were proud to stand (and drive) alongside some of our awesome allies in Sacramento to celebrate the SCOTUS decision upholding DACA! During the press conference and rally led by @chirla_org, we honked and cheered to let everyone know #HomeIsHere!! #HereToStay #IStandWithDreamers (Video from Sac Immigration Coalition on FB)
... While we were celebrating DACA, along the route we saw tributes to George Floyd and the many other Black folx killed by police - a reminder that while we have one cause to celebrate today, there is much work to be done. #GeorgeFloyd #JusticeforBreonnaTaylor #saytheirnames

⚖️ JUST IN: The Supreme Court has *rejected* the Trump administration’s lawsuit against certain parts of the California State Sanctuary law. This is a major victory as the court has recognized the power of local and state governments to use local resources for the common good and protect residents from federal abuses of power. 🏛

With the tragedy of George Floyd being killed by police officers last week, the community is in a state of pain and outrage. Our leadership across the region has committed to engaging in much needed conversation and education to empower our Black Muslim community, highlight their voices, and support them.
Please join us tonight at 6 p.m. for a conversation titled, “The Prophetic Path to Justice: Standing Firm with Our Hands, Tongues and Hearts.”
We will be joined by Sr. Nailah El-Amin, Imam Malik Abdul-Khaliq and Imam Bilal Elsakka, who will be touching on the topics of white supremacy and institutional racism and how we as Muslims can start to stand for change and justice by starting in our own communities. The conversation will be moderated by local young leaders Ibraheem Bangura and Oussama Mokeddem. The program will also feature internationally recognized poet Akhi AbuBakr, who will be presenting some of his pieces highlighting aspects of the Black experience in America.

On behalf of the entire CAIR Sacramento Valley/Cen

On behalf of the entire CAIR Sacramento Valley/Central California family, Council of Sacramento Valley Islamic Organizations (COSVIO) and Central Valley Islamic Council (CVIC), we write to express love for, solidarity with and commitment to the Black community, especially Black families who have lost loved ones to state-sanctioned violence.
...
We are heartbroken over the recent murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Steven Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Tony McDade and David McAtee. They are the latest in a long line of Black men and women struck down by police officers who were sworn to serve and protect them. ...
CAIR-SV/CC, COSVIO and CVIC condemn all forms of anti-Black violence and systemic racism. We also unequivocally condemn the dehumanization of Blackness, whether it occurs inside or outside our community.

George Floyd was murdered by Minneapolis police yesterday. We honor his life and thank @shirien.creates for doing that with this beautiful art. When a police officer knelt over his neck, George could be heard shouting: “I cannot breathe” and “Don’t kill me!” But moments later he was motionless, eyes closed, face-first on the road. We ask community to please *not share* the triggering video of his murder. We are outraged and continue to be outraged by killer cops whose anti-Black violence and racism continues everyday. We know these last words all too well after #EricGarner, but we cannot and we will not stop pushing forward for justice. #SayTheirNames #GeorgeFloyd

Check out our stories to learn more about me and my role at CAIR!➖I can’t believe Ramadan is almost over! 🙁 It’s my favorite time of the year and despite the challenges this year, I was able to have a very peaceful Ramadan. 🕌 aH I felt like I had more time to reflect on the significance of this month than ever before. What have been some of your highs and lows of Ramadan in quarantine? ✨

Join us tomorrow, Thursday, May 21, at 4:30 p.m. PT for session 10 of Muslim Youth Live!
Though Ramadan may be an immensely gratifying, challenging experience, our real work begins as this blessed time passes us. It can be even more challenging to continue embodying the same spiritual dedication we felt throughout this month.
Join us for a special session of Muslim Youth Live as we reflect on the upcoming conclusion of Ramadan with Dr. Imad Bayoun of the Muslim American Society! Together, we'll learn about not only taking advantage of its remaining days, but focusing on the concept of Istiqaama (steadfastness, consistency) in faith, and taking whatever good we acquired throughout this beloved month with us into our everyday lives after it ends.
