About us
CAIR-Chicago is the Chicago chapter of CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) serving the neighboring Midwest. CAIR is the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy group. CAIR-Chicago is a not-for-profit organization registered in Illinois and functions as an organization financially independent of CAIR-National. CAIR-Chicago aims to provide legal and community services to the Chicago area. First and foremost, we deal with civil rights issues, taking up complaints ranging from bigoted gestures to employment discrimination against Muslims or those perceived to be Muslims. We are also involved in projects to increase civic engagement and political empowerment, helping community members understand and utilize the political system. We also focus on community outreach and interfaith events. Finally, we monitor the local media closely, flag bias against Islam and Muslims and respond accordingly.

Since 2020, CAIR-Chicago has observed Juneteenth by closing its office to celebrate the emancipation of the last enslaved Black Americans and honor the lives lost to slavery. Juneteenth has since replaced the office’s observance of Columbus Day. CAIR-Chicago will continue this tradition, while standing in support of our Black community members who face unjust discrimination to this day. “As a civil rights organization, this double change in office holiday observance only feels right and timely. We have been long bothered about having to observe Columbus day while Juneteenth is ignored. We have been supporting calls for legislative change, but why wait? We have decided to do what feels right, right now, and hope the rest of the country catches up," Executive Director, Ahmed Rehab, said in a 2020 press release. #juneteenth #cair #chicago
