Voter Mobilization

Your Vote. Your Future.

Why Your Vote Matters
For decades, U.S. elected officials have neglected the issues that impact Muslim communities. Since the September 11, 2001 attacks, Muslims have faced relentless surveillance, fearmongering, and harmful stereotypes. Recently, the events of October 7, 2023, triggered another wave of anti-Arab and anti-Muslim sentiment across the nation. This continuous targeting has led many American Muslims to disengage from politics, leaving our voices unheard and our issues unaddressed. For too long, American politics have sidelined the Muslim voice. We cannot afford to remain passive. For American Muslims, voting is one of the most powerful tools we have to combat oppression and make our voices heard.

2025 Legislative Priorities

At CAIR-CA, we actively advocate for policies that ensure justice, equity, and the protection of civil rights for all Californians. Below is a breakdown of the key legislative bills we prioritized during the 2024 session. 

Tier 1 bills represent CAIR-CA’s highest legislative priorities, addressing core issues impacting Muslim and marginalized communities.

Tier 2 bills align with CAIR-CA’s broader policy goals but may not require as much advocacy.

Tier 3 bills are bills we track for potential future action or amendments that could impact our community.
