For the thousands of Palestinian Americans and Muslim and Arab Americans represented by CAIR, a court hearing in the case is “such an important moment to have their voices heard,” according to staff attorney, Brittney Rezaei, who filed a brief in support of the plaintiffs.

Tahirah Amatul-Wadud, executive director of CAIR-MA, an acronym for the Council on American-Islamic Relations-Massachusetts, acknowledged the fierce debates over the war that have roiled college campuses.
“We stand in admiration and in solidarity with the students, the university and college students, who were hit the earliest with so much punishment when they took brave and bold steps to speak out against a government that they thought had overreached, and in favor of a population who failed to receive the protection that they deserve,” said Amatul-Wadud.
“The will of the people by our nature is toward peace and justice and hope. May God give us all the strength to move the discourse toward peace and resolution and hope. May our leaders feel the power of all of us behind them when they make these bold decisions,” said Tahirah Amatul-Wadud, Executive Director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations – Massachusetts.
