Action Alert: Protect Muslims Voting Rights!
Protect Our Democracy; Push the Senate to Support the Freedom to Vote Act
Our democracy is threatened when voting rights are under attack. The Ohio Chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-Ohio), Ohio’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, is urging Ohioans to stand up for voting rights.
The Freedom to Vote Act will help remove several hurdles that communities of color and other minority communities face when voting. This bill seeks to eliminate challenges with voting by:
- Expanding voter registration (e.g., automatic and same-day registration)
- Voting access (e.g., vote-by-mail and early voting)
- Limiting the removal of voters from voter rolls
- Restoring voting rights to those with past criminal convictions
- Establishing Election Day as a federal holiday.
Additionally, the bill addresses election integrity and security, redistricting, and campaign finance. The Freedom to Vote Act will ensure that all citizens will be better represented in our government.
Read the bill as introduced here.
Tell your senators to protect our democracy and vote YES on the Freedom to Vote Act.

CAIR-Ohio Joins Fair Districts Rally at Statehouse!
(COLUMBUS, OHIO 11/03/2021) — On Thursday, October 28, the Ohio Chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-Ohio) joined other organizations of the Fair Districts Coalition at the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus, Ohio.
Tala Dahbour, CAIR-Ohio’s Policy Director was in attendance and addressed the attendees of the rally.
“The suppression of political power is especially harmful for communities who are racial and religious minorities and experience institutional discrimination at a higher rate than others. But fair districts return power to the people. That’s why, even though our state legislative maps are unfair and unconstitutional, we won’t give up this fight”, said Dahbour.
