“We condemn the continuing promotion of racism and white supremacy in our state and nationwide,” said CAIR-Ohio Outreach Director Victoria Hickcox. “Bigots will continue to spread their twisted ideology unless all Americans speak out strongly and consistently against hate.”
She said Washington, D.C., based CAIR and the American Muslim community stand in solidarity with all those challenging antisemitism, systemic anti-Black racism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, white supremacy, and all other forms of bigotry.
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.
