Alhamdullilah, today marks the official rescission Alhamdullilah, today marks the official rescission of the Muslim and African Ban. We thank the Biden-Harris Administration for taking swift action on their first day in office to repeal the ban, but we recognize that there is still much work to be done.

We will continue to stand with Muslim and African immigrants until they are reunited with their families. We will stand with Dreamers, and with other undocumented people around the country until they no longer have to live in fear of unlawful ICE detentions. We see you, and we will not stop until all of us are safe.

Giving Tuesday is a global day of generosity with Giving Tuesday is a global day of generosity with the purpose of spreading the goodness of our communities to the organizations that serve to make our world a better place. 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.
