Hate Crimes Increased, But We Fought Back

See this content in the original post

Muslims have been targeted since 2001. The Trump Administration only made it worse.

Watch video above.

For the last twenty years, hate crimes against Muslims have been on the rise. In 2016, they increased exponentially nationwide due in part to the Trump Administration's rhetoric.

In the past five years, we have seen Muslim women brutalized by police, Muslim children beat up at school, and Muslim families threatened by violence in their own homes.

CAIR-Chicago is one of the only lines of defense against hate crime victims. Our expert legal staff works pro-bono to ensure justice is served, in the court, on the legislative floor, and through groundbreaking media. But we can't do it without your help. 

This Ramadan, we cannot be at the Masajid where we typically raise 55% of our annual budget. We count on you at home if we are to survive this year. We need to raise $300,000. We simply cannot go on without your support. Help #keepgoingcairchi and help our doors stay open! Please Donate your Zakat/Sadaqa today!
