DC: CAIR to Release Annual Civil Rights Report Showing New Trends, Ongoing Rise in Islamophobia
On Tuesday, March 11, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, plans to release its annual civil rights report during a news conference at its Capitol Hill headquarters in Washington, D.C.
Titled “Unconstitutional Crackdowns,” the report documents a continued rise in complaints of Islamophobia, as well as new trends never documented in the organization’s 30-year history. The report details dozens of specific incidents of bias and offers recommendations for public officials to consider in light of new data findings.
