Help Us Reach Our Goal of $50,000 to Hire 1st Civil Rights Attorney for CAIR-STL Click Here to Donate
Every year CAIR-STL takes on dozens of civil liberties cases. These cases involve American Muslims who suffer discrimination at work, lose their jobs or are never hired because of their appearance, are bullied in school, targeted by the FBI and immigration law enforcement, are harassed by anti-Islam groups, targets of hate crimes, and much more. Many cases go unreported as American Muslims worry about high legal costs and never pursue their case. I believe this is wrong. Anyone who has a case of discrimination should have the resources and ability to fight it in court.
Sadly this is not the case and CAIR-STL needs your help to provide legal support to our community members who are daily targets of discrimination.
Alhamdulilah, CAIR-STL has worked with local attorneys in the past to take on these cases free or for reduced costs, but because of the ever increasing number of cases they are unable to keep up. I believe it's now time for us to go to the next level and hire the first full time civil rights attorney to work with us.
This Ramadan we are reaching out to you to help us raise $50,000 to hire our first full time civil liberties defense attorney. This attorney will work to help our community fight cases of discrimination in court. This means that anyone who suffers discrimination can come to our office and get free or reduced cost legal help.
Many of the cases our office receives results in a win. Often our clients and their attorneys receive financial settlements in the tens of thousands of dollars. This means that this position will pay for itself as we win our discrimination cases.
Don't miss this opportunity to make a major impact in defending the civil rights of all American Muslims. This Ramadan make your tax-deductible and sadaqah eligible donation today to help us reach our goal of hiring a full time civil rights attorney.
