The Council on American-Islamic Relations – Massachusetts (CAIR-MA) is a chapter of America’s largest Muslim civil rights organization. CAIR-MA’s mission is to enhance understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims and build coalitions that promote social justice and mutual understanding.
CAIR-MA actively engages with the media to ensure that a fair and accurate portrayal of Islam and Muslims is presented to the American public. This is accomplished through media appearances, press conferences, opinion editorials, and letters to the editor. In addition, CAIR-Massachusetts provides training to community members, media professionals, and employers.
Protecting the rights of Massachusetts Muslims is at the core of CAIR-Massachusetts’ mission. We work vigorously to educate on behalf of community members experiencing discrimination and remedy cases through in-person negotiations, from filing charges of discrimination, letter writing, and referrals to our attorney referral network. Cases range from employment, public accommodation, and school discrimination, to hate crimes and governmental religious/racial profiling.
Our Community Advocacy and Education department provides young people, community members, educators, and youth workers with the tools to self-advocate, implement inclusionary practices, build power, and hone leadership skills.
There has never been a more important time to register to vote for upcoming state, local, and federal elections!
