Programs and results

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Islamophobia, which is an unfounded fear of Muslims that causes various forms of injustices, is a growing problem in America and around the world. These problems include workplace discrimination, school bullying, political disenfranchisement, media bias, harassment in public places, immigration benefit delays and denials, law enforcement profiling, and hate crimes.

Our programs

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Civil Rights Advocacy

We receive cases on reports of discrimination issues and issues of concern regarding Muslim Americans. If possible we advocate on the client's behalf to resolve the situation but if that is unsuccessful we may see outside legal assistance.
