Five years ago, Donald Trump passed the Muslim Ban

Five years ago, Donald Trump passed the Muslim Ban. We celebrate the heroic efforts undertaken by so many to repeal the bans but also call on Biden to repair the damage that it caused. Islamophobic immigration policies will not be tolerated and we must address the ongoing harmful effects. Take action now & help us eradicate the ban once and for all: http://nomuslimbanever.com/ReuniteFamilies

When a community member and their family in Mantec

When a community member and their family in Manteca was subjected to repeated harassment by neighbors, culminating in the remark "you don't belong here," our intervention resulted in the management company replacing the HOA Board completely and adding a "Community Manager" position among other changes. Moreover, the neighbor who instigated the harassment resigned from the Board of Directors. According to our client, the environment is much more inclusive.

CAIR-SV/CC stands up for your rights and fights for you. Be our support and help us reach our year-end goal at bit.ly/cairsvccdonate

#CAIRCA stands with @zahrabilloo and every person smeared for supporting #Palestinian #humanrights.

--

During a speech delivered at a conference in #Chicago last month, Zahra spoke of the clear connections between #Islamophobic hate groups and anti-Palestinian activism. She further criticized the #Israeli government’s human rights abuses against the Palestinian people. She also encouraged #American #Muslims to avoid collaborating with any organizations that support the political ideology that the Israeli apartheid government uses to justify dispossessing, occupying, and killing Palestinians.

She is now the target of an online smear campaign.

A jury in Glynn County, Georgia, found three men — Gregory McMichael, his son Travis McMichael and their neighbor William “Roddie” Bryan Jr. — guilty on multiple counts of murder for the killing of Ahmaud Arbery, a 25-year-old Black man fatally shot while out for a jog on Feb. 23, 2020.

We welcome the court’s decision in the trial. The defendants made assumptions based on racist stereotypes and armed themselves with firearms in an attempt to detain an unarmed Black man simply for taking an afternoon jog, which ultimately resulted in them shooting him and taking his life. We applaud the jury’s realization that the defendants’ claims to self defense were unfounded and look forward to all three of them being held accountable for their actions.

The jury in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse reached

The jury in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse reached a verdict today, finding him not guilty on all counts of homicide and reckless endangerment charges.

We are severely disappointed in the jury’s not guilty verdict and the judge’s clear preferential treatment of the defendant during the trial. Rittenhouse’s irresponsible and vigilante behavior during last year’s protest against police brutality in Kenosha, Wisconsin, resulted in the death of two men and the wounding of another. He—and anyone else who illegally and violently attempts to take matters into his or her own hands—should be held accountable for endangering the lives of others.

At a time when men of color such as Julius Jones face life in prison for unproven allegations, this verdict is just another example of the American justice system’s leniency towards white male violence.
