Please urge the Instructional Quality Commission (IQC) to reverse the decision to relegate Arab American studies to the appendix of Ethnic Studies and instead include it as part of the Asian American studies curriculum. This is an attempt to remove Islamophobia, Palestine and other important topics from Ethnic Studies!

Need some humor at the end of this crazy election week? Join CAIR-CA's virtual banquet tomorrow and laugh along with Amer Zahr!

A well-renowned Arab-American comedian, writer, and political activist, Amer Zahr holds an MA in Middle Eastern and North Africa Studies and a JD (law degree), both from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.

Zahr’s passion and impact are inescapable and acknowledged by many as he recently served as a surrogate for presidential candidate Bernie Sanders in March of this year. He actively discusses social, political, and legal issues affecting Arab and Muslim Americans, drawing on his experiences growing up as a child of Palestinian refugees.
Amer Zahr uses his comedy to speak truth to power as he integrates his life experiences into his work. His drive and message are needed now more than ever.

Today at 5 PM, The Chula Vista City Council will be considering a resolution in opposition to Prop 15. Please email councilmembers before the meeting to let them know you oppose the resolution and are in support of Prop 15! Please also submit an online public comment for the meeting. Click "oppose" and type in your comment.

Link in bio for public comment link!

Prop 15 will require that all commercial/industrial properties valued at $3M or more be reassessed at fair market value, and pay taxes on that basis. The proposition would create a split roll property tax system and spend the revenue increase on education and other public services.

BREAKING 🎉 The House just passed the #NoBanAct

BREAKING 🎉
The House just passed the #NoBanAct, the first step to repealing the Trump administration’s cruel and discriminatory Muslim Ban!! Let’s keep the momentum going!!

👉Our statement: "We are thrilled that a majority of the House voted to overturn the Trump administration's cruel and discriminatory Muslim and African bans. We are so grateful to those who voted 'Yes.' Families have been torn apart for too long due to Trump's xenophobic and bigoted policies, and this is a crucial step toward justice for these families. Our work to repeal the bans is far from over, and we will continue to push to overturn unjust policies that target vulnerable and marginalized communities."
