The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today announced that it has hired civil rights attorney Nicole Fauster Bradford as its Community Advocacy Director.
Fauster Bradford’s experience includes conducting extensive civil rights compliance work for local and federal governmental agencies, private entities, and institutions of higher education, with a focus on Title VI, Title VII, and Title IX investigations. Fauster Bradford also previously served as CAIR-Georgia’s Civil Rights Attorney, where she zealously represented and advocated for community members facing severe cases of religious discrimination throughout the state.
Fauster Bradford’s passion for community advocacy and justice stems from her personal and professional experiences which have taken her across the United States, Egypt, Jordan, and Tunisia, where she has worked on civil and human rights issues affecting Muslims, refugees, migrant workers, and various other underserved groups.
Fauster Bradford received her Juris Doctor from Georgetown University Law Center with a certificate in Refugees and Humanitarian Emergencies. She received her Bachelor of Arts from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with majors in Global Studies and Arabic and a minor in Social and Economic Justice.
In a statement, CAIR National Deputy Director Edward Ahmed Mitchell said:
“We are excited to announce the appointment of Nicole Fauster Bradford, an accomplished attorney and American Muslim community activist, as our new Community Advocacy Director. As our civil rights organization addresses a massive spike in complaints of discrimination and bigotry sparked by the Gaza genocide, it is critically important that we expand our team to protect free speech, advance civil rights and help as many people as possible, including Americans facing bigotry and discrimination for supporting Palestinian human rights.”
