Coalition for Civil Freedoms

Coalition for Civil Freedoms Legal advocacy & support for political prisoners within the U.S. Criminal justice system & families

Founded in 2010, CCF is a coalition of civil liberties and human rights organizations that challenge preemptive prosecution and the post-9/11 targeting, surveillance, and criminalization of Muslim communities. CCF’s core areas of work include education and outreach, prisoner and family support, legal services, grassroots advocacy, policy, and research. We work to amplify the voices of those direct

ly impacted and empower them to advocate for meaningful change. Through direct action and public awareness campaigns, CCF mobilizes communities to transform the criminal legal system to one built on fairness and equality. Our vision for justice is freedom for political prisoners, an end to political repression, and the protection of the rights of all people. Member Organizations

This Ramadan, remember those who are spending this sacred month behind prison walls for their beliefs, their words, or their struggle for justice. While many of us gather with family and share meals at iftar, countless political prisoners remain isolated, deprived of basic comforts, and separated from their loved ones.

Your support can make a real difference. A Ramadan can help provide essential support, advocacy, and aid to political prisoners who are too often forgotten.

Since 2010, CCF has sent a Ramadan gift of $100 to political prisoners who were targeted in the domestic “war on terror.” After being preemptively prosecuted, they have been serving lengthy, draconian sentences for no more than "thought" crimes.

We want to send a Ramadan gift to ALL of our prisoners, but we need your help!

Thanks to our generous donors, we have raised almost $23,000.

But we still need $12,000.

CCF Ramadan Appeal - Who Gets the Gift?

Serdar Tatar was befriended and entrapped by a paid FBI informant and accused of plotting to kill military personnel. Serdar became suspicious of his new "friend", Mahmoud Omar, and alerted the police that he thought Omar might be planning a terror attack. However, it was Serdar who came to be investigated by the FBI. He was convicted and sentenced to 33 years in prison. His release date is 2035.

14th Annual Ramadan Gift Program

By January 31, we must raise $35,000.

This Ramadan, hundreds of political prisoners will break their fast behind concrete walls and steel doors. Many were targeted in the domestic so called war on terror not for violence, but for their beliefs, cultural identity, charity work, or activism.

A $100 Ramadan gift means everything inside.

It means calling their children.
It means buying halal food.
It means observing Ramadan with dignity instead of isolation.

Most of all, it means being remembered.

“The funds are a blessing, but that feeling of knowing you’re not forgotten in here is what really sits with me.”
HS, political prisoner

WHAT DO THE PRISONERS WE ADVOCATE FOR SAY? Read the words of one prisoner and make a generous donation TODAY!

"I remember CCF's early days, and, ma sha' Allah, you all have really come a long way. The amount of good that CCF does, its effectiveness in its efforts, and the breadth of the issues it addresses have all expanded a great deal. You all are also the only remaining organization that focuses on political prisoners and the War on Terror which centers actual prisoners and their voices in a meaningful way. You've actually scored some important legal victories and impacted power and its narratives. The financial support you provide also lets us fight our own battles and be heard when otherwise we might not be able to afford to get our voices out or go to court.

"I'm personally a beneficiary of your financial support program, and it has helped me more than you can imagine. My family supports me in a moral and loving sense, but they cannot afford to provide for me in prison, and I cannot work many prison jobs due to my food allergies and their consequences. At my new prison, I have not been able to get a job that my health will allow me to do, so that support is pretty much all I have." ~ Z

Your donation directly supports political prisoners who were unjustly targeted in the domestic "war on terror," prosecuted, and incarcerated because of their beliefs, cultural identity, or charitable work. These prisoners are serving long, draconian sentences for little more than thought crimes or m...
