(BOSTON, MA, 11/15/2022) – The Massachusetts chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-MA) today invited community members to its sixth annual banquet on November 19 at the Sheraton Boston Needham Hotel in Needham, Mass.
The keynote address will be delivered by Nihad Awad, national executive director of CAIR. CAIR-MA plans to honor Afnaan Zeabi, the 8th grader bravely standing up to an unjust school policy which punished her for wearing a hijab. CAIR-MA will present its 2022 Volunteer of the Year award to Jana Amin, a youth fellow with the chapter.
The Steward of Justice Awards will be given to Dr. Mohammad Saleem Bajwa, Ms. Noor Elshaar, Br. Azeddine & Aimee Fadli & family, Dr. Abrar & Mrs. Laura Qureshi & family. This award is given to people who demonstrate leadership within the Muslim community and beyond and who champion and amplify the work of CAIR-MA.
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.
