CAIR - Philadelphia Chapter

On Monday, April 20th, a PA delegation from Philadelphia, Allentown, and Harrisburg joined 1,000+ Muslims on Capitol Hill in DC - visiting 9 congressional offices in one day to make our voices heard.

We advocated to:
• Oppose anti-Muslim legislation and fear-driven policies
• End U.S. funding for genocide and endless wars
• Protect free speech and immigration rights

At a time when access to political power is being narrowed, this is your reminder: our voices matter…but only if we use them.

Call your representatives. Show up. Stay organized.
People power only works when we act.

Are you a Muslim voter in Pennsylvania? We want to hear from you!

CAIR-PA’s voter survey takes 3 minutes. Your answers shape our advocacy and the conversations we have with elected officials. pa.cair.com/primary2026

Every child has the constitutional right to a public education, free from fear or uncertainty.

Earlier this year, the federal government rescinded the longstanding Safe Places policy — stripping protections that once kept schools, churches, and hospitals free from immigration enforcement. Welcoming Schools bills (SB1125 and HB2148) on the state level would ensure students feel secure in their classrooms.

Thank you to every voice that showed up today:
