UNITY IN THE PURSUIT OF JUSTICE – CAIR-WA 2023 banquet

Join CAIR Washington for an evening with two of the most renowned students of knowledge the ummah has to offer. Shaykh Hasib Noor and Ustadh Ubaydullah Evans will be in town for one evening only to speak at the CAIR-WA banquet, where we can benefit from their expertise and knowledge. Read more about our featured speakers below.

The banquet will be hosted by Zahra Billoo, the Executive Director of CAIR-SFBA and a civil rights advocate. We are presenting a Community Service Award to Dr. Ahsen Nadeem, beloved outgoing MAPS Youth Director, and will hear from special guest Imam Farid Sulayman, whose story of travel delays and watchlist issues was recently featured on the front page of the Sunday Seattle Times. This packed program is one that you won’t want to miss.

Get your tickets now, while early bird pricing is still available!

This year’s theme is “Unity in the Pursuit of Justice”. No matter what, our communities come together to uphold the civil rights of our brothers and sisters, and to pursue justice for those who need it. Most recently, our community came together at a crucial moment to help fund an Afghan brother’s travel costs in order to make a vital asylum interview.

In a few short years, CAIR-WA has become a powerhouse legal services provider with four immigration attorneys, while continuing to lead in advocacy. Whether in civil rights, bullying, or other cases, we lead the charge and ensure that our community’s rights are protected. For the past two decades, CAIR-WA has been the leading voice in the media for Washington state’s Muslim community. We lead with high impact and high visibility stories, like Imam Sulayman’s, through our relationships with reporters. Join us to celebrate our wins and ensure that we can continue to protect our community’s civil rights.

“Palestine Support Table” at CAIR-WA 2023 banquet—please join!

Those of you who joined in last year remember confusion (ticketing together as a table vs individual tickets and sitting together at the Palestine Support Table) Now CAIR nudges us toward simplifying: individual tix, and we’ll set up and find each other at the table there

“..the easiest way for everyone will be to have folks register for individual tickets via Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/unity-in-the-pursuit-of-justice-cair-was-2023-banquet-tickets-685212016587?aff=oddtdtcreator

When they register, they can note on the registration form that they are a part of the Palestine Solidarity Table. .Excited to have you all again!”

Last year the table spontaneously doubled, to 2 tables! Banquet attendees on the spot joined us, when seeing the “Palestine Support Table” and flag!  C’mon down!  Especially with ever-increasing collaboration in Arab/Muslim world, it’s critical to “show the flag” at such community events~~
