(COLUMBUS, OHIO 11/10/2022) — Since early voting began on October 12, CAIR-Ohio has focused on various Get-Out-the-Vote efforts in Central and Southwest Ohio to ensure that the Muslim community was informed and voted in the midterm general election.
These efforts included tabling at masajid and at the Cincinnati & Dayton Banquet and Columbus Banquet, which combined reached over 900 community members to get out the vote. Community members were provided election protection materials among other general election information. CAIR-Ohio also shared various digital resources to help the community feel empowered to make their voices heard, including a “know your rights while at the polls” guide and CAIR-Ohio’s voter guide.
CAIR-Ohio empowers Ohio Muslims – who are so often ignored or vilified in our democracy – to be civically engaged. We believe to create systemic change, Muslims and other marginalized groups must make their voices heard at the ballot box and beyond. Through non-partisan voter education and mobilization, we work to preserve and expand voting rights, building an equal path for all Americans.
