ACC and CAIR are proud to launch the Champions of Justice Fund, dedicated to supporting students who were targeted for their advocacy of Palestine on college campuses. Alhamdulillah, in October 2024, this fund awarded $1,000 educational grants to 20 deserving students. As the fund continues to grow, we aim to expand our support, ensuring that more students receive the assistance they need to pursue their education and stand up for justice. Join us in this vital effort to empower student advocates and make a lasting impact on their academic journeys.
The Commitment of CAIR and ACC
- The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is unwavering in its commitment to the American-Muslim community, confronting Islamophobia head-on. For years, CAIR has provided legal defense, amplified our community’s voice in the media, represented our interests in the halls of power, and mobilized our community during critical moments. CAIR invests in training and inspiring the next generation of American Muslim leaders.
The Challenge: Underinvestment in Change Makers
- A significant challenge for the American-Muslim community is the lack of investment in encouraging young Muslims to pursue professional fields that create change, power, and influence. Currently, not enough Muslims are entering fields such as political science, law, public policy, journalism, media, and non-profit management. Addressing this issue is crucial to building significant power and influence in the U.S.
