We hope you will consider donating anything you can to support CAIR-SV/CC’s programs and services.

COVID has made fundraising very difficult for CAIR-SV/CC this year as the majority of our fundraising efforts have traditionally been dependent on in-person events such as Ramadan outreach and our annual banquets. 
Despite this, we continue to work diligently to provide for our communities and are striving to make our best efforts to fundraise virtually!

In this past year alone, we have nearly doubled our staff, worked tirelessly to have our communities fairly represented in the 2020 Census, hosted over 20 educational webinars on voter engagement, handled multiple Yemeni repatriation cases, held the Muslim Youth Leadership Intensive, and so much more.

Our goal this Giving Tuesday is to raise $100,000 for our office so that we may continue to do right by you all and continue to protect the civil rights of our community, provide our youth with empowering and educational programs, support our immigrants, and advocate for justice.

⚖️ VICTORY‼️ Today, in a lawsuit we filed with 8 of our partners, US District Court Judge Jeffrey White granted a preliminary injunction of USCIS’ #feerule, which would have priced many immigrants out of their benefits. 📈⠀
⠀
The fee rule was a cruel attack on low-income immigrants, asylum seekers, refugees, survivors of domestic violence, and survivors of human trafficking.⠀
⠀
We are so thankful to our amazing partners and everyone who joined the critical fight against this immoral wealth test.
