Community Unites Under Theme “A New Chapter in Civil Rights: American Voices, Muslim Values”
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) Ohio, the state’s largest Muslim civil-rights and advocacy organization, hosted its annual Columbus Banquet on October 25, 2025, bringing together hundreds of community members, leaders, and advocates for an evening of unity, empowerment, and reflection.
This year’s theme, “A New Chapter in Civil Rights: American Voices, Muslim Values,” set the tone for a night that celebrated resilience and collective action in the pursuit of justice.
The event featured keynote speaker The Hon. Cori Bush, former U.S. Congresswoman representing Missouri’s 1st District. Bush delivered a powerful address on the importance of continued advocacy for equity, human rights, and justice for all.
Throughout the evening, CAIR-Ohio highlighted its ongoing work to defend civil rights, build interfaith solidarity, and empower Ohio’s Muslim community through education, outreach, and legal advocacy. Attendees reflected on the year’s challenges and successes while reaffirming their commitment to a more just and inclusive future.
