The organization empowers American Muslims to advocate for their rights and interests at the local, state, and federal levels of government.

SAN FRANCISCO – Today, CAIR Action announced its support for climate advocate Tom Steyer for California Governor. CAIR Action’s mission is to engage, educate, and mobilize Muslim voters, train emerging leaders, and champion policy priorities that enhance the well-being and representation of Muslim communities.

“California is at a crossroads. At a time when too many politicians around the nation are driven by fear, division, and corporate interests,” Basim Elkarra, Executive Director of CAIR Action said. “Tom Steyer has consistently demonstrated the courage to stand up for working families, defend our democracy, confront the climate crisis, and speak out for human rights and justice. He understands that California’s strength comes from its diversity, its values, and its willingness to lead. That is why CAIR Action is proud to endorse Tom Steyer for Governor of California.”

“I believe in a California where every community is respected, represented, and empowered to shape our shared future,” Steyer said. “I’m thankful for CAIR Action’s support and for the work they do to mobilize Muslim voters, support new leaders, and push for policies that enable communities to thrive. I look forward to working together to ensure government works for the Muslim community and that every family in California has the opportunity to thrive.”
