The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is a non-profit organization established in 1994 that advocates for the civil rights of Muslims in the United States. It works to promote understanding, counteract discrimination and hate, and ensure fair treatment through legal assistance, community outreach, and education initiatives.
