About CAIR New Jersey
Our Vision
CAIR's vision is to be a leading advocate for justice and mutual understanding. Our Mission
CAIR's mission is to enhance understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding. Our Core Principles

CAIR supports free enterprise, freedom of religion and freedom of expression. CAIR is committed to protecting the civil rights of all Americans, regardless of faith. CAIR supports domestic policies that promote civil rights, diversity and freedom of religion. CAIR opposes domestic policies that limit civil rights, permit racial, ethnic or religious profiling, infringe on due process, or that prevent Muslims and others from participating fully in American civic life. CAIR is a natural ally of groups, religious or secular, that advocate justice and human rights in America and around the world. CAIR supports foreign policies that help create free and equitable trade, encourage human rights and promote representative government based on socio-economic justice. CAIR believes the active practice of Islam strengthens the social and religious fabric of our nation. CAIR condemns all acts of violence against civilians by any individual, group or state. CAIR advocates dialogue between faith communities both in America and worldwide. CAIR supports equal and complementary rights and responsibilities for men and women.

One of CAIR-NJ’s hallmark events, our annual Muslim Day of Advocacy brings our community to Trenton to make our voices heard, engage directly with state legislators, and advocate for the issues that matter to New Jersey Muslims.

From State divestment in Israeli bonds to Muslim Studies curriculum, we’re advancing meaningful legislation to protect American Muslims and shape a better future for New Jersey.

This is what it looks like to turn community concerns into community impact. 🤝
