Omar was recently exonerated by a judge years after he was falsely accused of being a deadly ISIS Commander, yet he still isn't free to be with his wife and four children in Sacramento. Instead, he was transferred to ICE custody on the same false accusations.

Omar's freedom is long overdue, and he deserves to be with his family for Eid - and beyond.

Help spread the word and #FreeOmarAmeen!

Yesterday, on behalf of the San Diego Muslim community, CAIR San Diego and some of our community leaders were honored to receive a Ramadan proclamation from San Diego City Councilmembers @seanelorivera and @monica4sandiego!

This is an important gesture from the City that Muslims are not just visible, but are appreciated and celebrated as an essential part of our society.

This is a small but important step towards building more equity and representation of the San Diego Muslim community.

Today at 6 PM! A Discussion on Black History Month

Link in bio!

Many of us have come to take for granted February as a month dedicated to Black folks without engaging intentionally with the principles, purpose, and founding of this month!

Through this conversation, our staff hopes to affirm and support in the national and international visibility of Black folks as a means of amplifying their celebration of self, community, and political and social institutionalities!

As we welcome and embrace the learnings in Black History Month with excitement and humility, it’s critical that we continue to commit to honoring Black youth and Black families daily and beyond this month!

CAIR-SAN DIEGO JOINS CITY LEADERS IN CONDEMNING AN

CAIR-SAN DIEGO JOINS CITY LEADERS IN CONDEMNING ANTI-BLM HATE CRIME

In a statement, CAIR-SD Operations & Development Manager Omair Khan said:

“This incident should serve as a reminder that racial violence and prejudice against communities of color did not disappear with the removal of the previous White House administration. Unfortunately, there are many citizens who still harbor resentment toward communities of color, immigrants, and Muslims."

“It pains us to witness such racist incidents, especially during Black History Month, when we are focused on honoring Black Lives and their contributions to civil rights and justice.”

Khan urged community members to report any racially fueled remarks or actions to CAIR-SD’s Civil Rights Department by filing a report at ca.cair.com/sandiego/
