Policy Areas

The United States of America was founded upon principles aimed at safeguarding the rights and well-being of its citizens. Despite ongoing efforts by state and federal governments to undermine the rights of religious and minority communities, these principles continue to guide us toward a more just and equitable society.

CAIR Action sees this year’s 2024 election as an opportunity to rectify past injustices and enact policies that protect the rights of all Americans, including those from Muslim communities. We must ensure that leaders, both aspiring and incumbent, pledge to champion the rights of American Muslims. This means ending discriminatory practices targeting Muslim communities, fostering inclusivity at all levels of governance, and addressing systemic inequalities.

CAIR Action will play a pivotal role in this election and beyond to advocate for the rights of American Muslims. We believe in empowering American Muslims by engaging directly with policymakers and candidates by holding them accountable to our needs. Through advocacy efforts, CAIR Action will focus on the following policy priorities:

Upholding Civil Rights

CAIR Action works to support current leaders and candidates who prioritize upholding Civil Rights for all people. Since 9/11 the Muslim Community has been an easy target for Civil Rights abuses. CAIR Action works to ensure that Civil Rights abuses no longer occur.  

Ending National Security Overreach

The National FBI watchlist, no-fly lists, and other forms of security overreach have targeted and undermined our community’s time and time again. CAIR Action aims to restore these fundamental constitutional rights through our efforts

Reforming Immigration Policies

CAIR Action will work to oppose bigotry and discrimination in our immigration system. Those seeking a new home in our country deserve to do so with dignity and respect. We work for policy change that ensures this as a right for all people. 

Countering Racial Profiling in Law Enforcement

We aim to close loopholes in DOJ and DHS guidelines that permit racial and religious biases within our law enforcement system

Defending Constitutional Rights in Schools

We support free speech in all spheres of our lives, especially within our education system. We will work to ensure that our constitutional rights are also protected within our schools.

Supporting a Just and Transformative Foreign Policy

We advocate for policies that uphold fundamental values of equality, justice, and inclusivity, we aim to build a more just and equitable global society.

CAIR Action is committed to advancing a just agenda that prioritizes the protection of civil rights and liberties for Muslims and all other Americans. By advocating for policies that uphold fundamental values of equality, justice, and inclusivity, we aim to build a more just and equitable society where every individual can thrive and contribute to the common good. We believe that by working together, we can overcome the challenges facing our nation and create a brighter future for generations to come. Join us in our mission to safeguard civil rights and promote the principles upon which this great nation was founded. Together, we can make a difference.
