CAIR TEXAS-Houston CAIR’s mission is to protect civil rights, promote justice, and empower American Muslims. The national headquarters for CAIR is in Washington, D.C.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit grassroots advocacy and civil rights organization. and there are over 20 affiliated CAIR chapters across America. The Houston chapter was formed in December 2002 and we opened the doors to our office in February 2003. CAIR-Houston works with corporations, schools, universities and government agencies, providing them with training materials about Muslim religious practices, conducting workshops and seminars. CAIR-Houston representatives regularly appear on KPRC-TV (NBC 2), HTRK-TV (ABC 13), KHOU (CBS-11), KRIV (FOX-26), News 24 Houston, The Houston Chronicle, The Houston Press and other local, state and national media outlets. We regularly participate in interfaith and civic dialogues with organizations dedicated to preserving America’s legacy of social justice. CAIR-Houston's dedicated staff, board members and volunteers work to defend the community's legal and constitutional rights in the workplace, schools, federal agencies and local government. CAIR will continue to serve as a leader in the Houston Muslim community by striving to improve relations between Houstonians of all races, religions and cultures.

“State Board of Education member Brandon Hall wants Muslim Student Associations barred from Texas public universities, and his claims about them are baseless.

Here’s what he left out:
✅ MSAs have served college students since 1963
✅ The Supreme Court has ruled that public colleges can’t deny recognition to student groups over officials’ disagreement with their views
✅ The SBOE oversees K-12 education. It has zero authority over universities

Even the outlet that interviewed him couldn’t verify his claims.

Officials who speak for Texans should reflect all Texans.

📅 The voter registration deadline is October 5, and it's closer than it feels. Don't let it sneak up on you. Take a few minutes today and get it done. ""This is our moment."" ✊🌍

Our issues aren't isolated; they're connected to something bigger. This isn't the first time we've had to speak out, and it won't be the last. But real change starts with our own first steps.

✅ Step 1: Check if you're registered:
muslims.vote/muslims-voter-registration

📝 Step 2: Not registered? Texas doesn't offer full online registration, but it's still quick. Get your application at votetexas.gov/register-to-vote, then print, sign, and mail it to your county election office (postmarked by Oct 5), or register in person at your county voter registrar's office.

🗳️ Step 3: Make a plan to vote, early or on Election Day.
