On Monday, Jan. 29, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, will release new civil rights data showing the number complaints received during last three months of 2023 amid an ongoing wave of anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian hate.
CAIR will host a Facebook Live event at 1 p.m. ET on Jan. 29 to discuss the updated numbers.

[MEDIA NOTE: Mainstream media who want an embargoed copy of the numbers can email csaylor@cair.com. The numbers are embargoed until 12:01 a.m. on Monday, 1/29.]
CAIR called the numbers in its last data release in December “staggering.”
In early 2023, CAIR had reported that 2022 showed the first-ever drop in incoming complaints to the organization since it started tracking data in 1995.
