.@CAIRCalifornia condemned the smear campaign launched by a recently formed anti-Palestinian group and The New York Post which seeks to undermine vital immigration legal services for refugees and immigrants.

No one is talking about the bullying & hate Muslim students are facing at California colleges.
A @CAIRCalifornia survey found that nearly HALF of Muslim college students in California have been harassed or faced discrimination.
What do state legislators have to say about this?
I'll wait.
Nearly 50% of Muslim students at 87 California colleges faced harassment, with 92% of incidents occurring after October 7th. Many fear retaliation or inaction when reporting discrimination.
We must ensure campuses are safe for all.

🚨ACTION ALERT: Tell Congress to Vote NO on H.R. 9495 Today!
Contact your House representatives and demand they vote NO on H.R. 9495, a bill that would give the Treasury unchecked power to revoke the tax-exempt status of religious and advocacy nonprofits without due process.
This dangerous bill threatens free speech and could be used to silence groups advocating for Palestinian rights.
Act now to protect our constitutional freedoms: action.cair.com/a/oppose-hr9…

I am excited to close out my term with my Leg Aide's @oh_hash bill idea, AB 2377, being signed into law. This bill accommodates K-12 students practicing religious fasting during Physical Education (PE) in school.
Thank you, @CAIRCalifornia, for your sponsorship and support!

🚨 ACTION ALERT 🚨
Two key CAIR-CA bills are just ONE step away from becoming law! 📜 Let’s urge Governor Newsom to sign AB 2377 and AB 1979, protecting students observing religious fasts and victims of doxing.
✊ AB 2377 ensures that students fasting during religious observances like Ramadan or Yom Kippur get the accommodations they need during PE classes to stay safe and healthy.
📢 AB 1979 protects victims of doxing, providing legal tools to hold perpetrators accountable and safeguarding the privacy of vulnerable communities, especially those speaking out against injustice domestically and worldwide.
👉 Take action NOW! Visit bit.ly/cairca-bills to send your email. Let’s protect our communities together!

Congratulations to the MYLP Class of 2024! 🌟
This past weekend, CAIR-CA proudly concluded its 18th Annual Muslim Youth Leadership Program (MYLP) at the CA State Capitol. Over four intensive days, 39 bright Muslim high school students from across California honed their skills in leadership, community organizing, and public speaking. 🗣️💪
From engaging in a mock legislative session to connecting with professionals in diverse workshop panels, these future leaders gained invaluable insights into the legislative process and advocacy. 🏛️✨
We’re inspired by their energy, vision, and dedication to making a positive impact. This year’s MYLP underscores our commitment to empowering the next generation of Muslim leaders.
Swipe to see the highlights! 📸➡️
