of expression. CAIR is committed to protecting the civil rights of all Americans, regardless of faith. CAIR supports domestic policies that promote civil rights, diversity and freedom of religion.

Montclair Public Schools is enforcing the problematic IHRA definition of antisemitism… and because President Trump said so?

After the superintendent’s repeated refusal to drop the definition, we wrote to the school district. Read our full letter here: cair-nj.org/no-ihra-montclair

A lot is happening at Delaney Hall. Did you know that dozens of Muslims are held there at any given time? They used to not even be able to have access to the Qur’an. Listen to the first and only Muslim religious volunteer at the facility. Two more applications are pending. Support this work at cair-nj.org/donate
