(WASHINGTON, D.C., 6/13/2023) – Join the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in telling the U.S. Congress that you oppose the decision to honor far-right, anti-Muslim Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi with a Joint Meeting of Congress during his upcoming U.S. visit on June 22.
ACT NOW: SEND A NOTE TO YOUR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS (It takes 30 seconds)
If you missed the in-person Hill Advocacy Days this week, during which hundreds of Muslims met with legislators and their staff on Capitol Hill, you still have a voice.
The evidence of Modi’s expanding effort to place a boot firmly on the collective heads of India’s religious minorities is extensive. CAIR has already noted that under Modi his political allies have banned young Muslim women from wearing hijabs at school, ignored widespread lynchings of Muslims, and censored a BBC documentary about Modi’s role in an anti-Muslim pogrom.
If you want to learn more about CAIR’s efforts to support Christians, Dalits, Muslims, Sikhs, and other minorities who face unjust discrimination and wanton violence, please read this release.
CAIR’s mission is to protect civil rights, enhance understanding of Islam, promote justice, and empower American Muslims.
La misión de CAIR es proteger las libertades civiles, mejorar la comprensión del Islam, promover la justicia, y empoderar a los musulmanes en los Estados Unidos.
