The Following congratulatory letter was sent to all members of the New Jersey Congressional Delegation who won their elections on November 6, 2018:

On behalf of Muslim Americans in New Jersey, the New Jersey chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-NJ) and the New Jersey Muslim Voters Project (NJMVP) would like to congratulate you on your electoral victory.  This is a great achievement for you and, in fact, for all of those who supported your campaign. 

In these trying times of divisiveness, we applaud the culture of inclusiveness that defines the great state of New Jersey and was reflected in the results of the past election.  We look forward to your support of this noble principle of inclusiveness through your public service. 

As civically engaged members of the community, we hope to join you in your endeavors to make this state, and in fact, this country a better and more just place for all Americans to live and thrive.

Please support your community by participating in the

 

Muslim Advocacy Day

 

December 17, 2018 – 10 am to 5 pm

The New Jersey State House, 125 W State St., Trenton, NJ 08608

 

On Monday December 17, 2018 representatives of New Jersey’s Muslim Community are gathering in our state’s capital to meet with our elected officials.  The objectives of this meeting are:

• To strengthen or establish Muslim community relationships with State Assembly and State Senators and their staff
• To educate state elected officials and their staff about Muslim civil liberties concerns and proposed solutions
• To encourage state elected officials to support key policies that are important to New Jersey’s Muslim community

We encourage you to join the Delegation of New Jersey Muslims to advocate on behalf of the entire community.  As a Delegate you will meet with your state legislators and encourage them to support the following proposed bills:

• A0461 - This bill requires adoption agency, or court, to maintain a child’s religious upbringing when placing child in adoption or foster care.
• A3077 - This bill prohibits disclosure of religious affiliation information by State or local government agencies to the federal government in an effort to prevent a possible religious registry.
• A1014 - This bill amends the current “Law Against Discrimination” and makes it unlawful to discriminate against someone if they have been a victim of a crime. For example: You can’t be turned down for a job just because you took action against a former employer.
• Proposed Bill - This proposed legislation would allow new mosques that have been approved by zoning boards to continue with building plans even if the zoning rules are changed.
