(COLUMBUS, OHIO 08/4/2021) – On Tuesday, July 27, Thursday, July 29, and Wednesday, August 4, the Ohio chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-Ohio) spoke at Fair Maps Town Halls across the state. CAIR-Ohio representatives advocated for equal districts that fairly represent Muslim communities in Ohio.
Amina Wase, a CAIR-Ohio intern who lives in Centerville and is educating her community about redistricting, spoke on her perspective as a Muslim American at the Dayton Town Hall. Specifically, Wase pointed out that her fellow Muslim community members who live five minutes east of her home are not represented in the same district as her despite their shared experiences.

(COLUMBUS, OHIO 07/11/2021) – On Sunday, July 11, the Ohio chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-Ohio) hosted a virtual record sealing clinic to help those with a prior criminal history through the record sealing application process. The July clinic is a part of a monthly program which will continue into the remainder of the year.
The stigma around a prior criminal conviction can be a barrier to accessing essential resources such as employment, housing, education, licensing, and credit. This means individuals who have already gone through the criminal justice system are further punished because of their limited access to opportunities that will help them move forward in their lives. However, eligible candidates may apply for their records to be sealed. If granted, record sealing will remove the applicant’s criminal record from public view. This means they may fill out subsequent employment, housing, and other applications as if the sealed record does not exist.
