CAIR-MA provides assistance and information on civil rights issues affecting the Muslim community in Massachusetts by way of legal representation, educational materials and programs, policy work, and outreach activities. These areas of law are our priorities, although we will consider other compelling cases or issues as the need arises:
Bullying
Education discrimination
Employment discrimination
FBI or police surveillance and harassment
Hate crimes and harassment
Housing discrimination
Prisoners’ religious freedoms
Public accommodations
Travel abuses
For issues that we do not handle – such as immigration, family law, and criminal defense – we refer callers to other lawyers or legal groups, state or federal agencies, and non-legal service providers.
If you need legal assistance, please contact our Legal Director, Barbara J. Dougan, at bdougan@cair.com, 781-281-9992 (direct line).
The mailing address for our Legal Department is CAIR-MA, P.O. Box 28, Arlington, MA 02476.
