Impact and Programs
Accomplishments
CAIR-CA’s offices: hosted over 1,200 community outreach activities and conducted over 300 workshops and presentations; attended over 350 legislative meetings with local, state and national elected officials; conducted 500 media interviews; and handled more than 2,000 civil rights and immigration cases on behalf of Muslims whose
civil liberties were violated or needed legal services. We also provided leadership training to over 40 youth at our annual Muslim Youth Leadership Program and mobilized more than 700 community members through our annual Muslim Day at the Capitol.
Current Goals
CAIR-CA has not eradicated Islamophobia and understands this is a long-term goal which will require increasing capacity, streamlining infrastructure and developing programs. As much progress as we have made, there is still much work to be done in expanding civil rights resources and services, and influencing community and public policies. We value our community investment to protect civil liberties and promote justice and equality.
