(PHOENIX, AZ, 7/11/2023) – The Arizona chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-AZ), a chapter of the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today condemned racist vandalism targeting homes in Tucson.
Seven homes in a Tucson neighborhood have been vandalized with racist graffiti. One resident’s car was reportedly spray-painted with racial slurs. The neighborhood has been targeted with similar vandalism over the past few months.
