Encouragement for Ramadan


 


The Council on American-Islamic Relations and zakat


Did you know that the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is on the frontlines every day fighting to protect our community from discrimination? Whether it's a Muslim traveler victimized by discriminatory government watchlists, a Muslim worker barred from wearing a hijab or praying at work, a Muslim child bullied for their faith, or an incarcerated Muslim not receiving meals during #Ramadan, they are counting on our support. And we’re counting on yours.

This Ramadan, can we count on you to help us defend American Muslim civil rights and promote justice? Your contribution will make an impact, whether you donate $5 or $500. Every little bit helps. CAIR is there for you and we won’t back down, insha Allah.

Stand with us as we defend and empower American Muslims. Give today! And remember, your donation is tax deductible and can be designated as zakat.
