How CAIR-MI Works

The Council on American-Islamic Relations Michigan Chapter (CAIR-MI) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) grassroots civil rights and advocacy group. The organization is affiliated with America’s largest Islamic civil liberties group, CAIR, whose headquarters is located in Washington D.C.

Through media and government relations, education and advocacy, CAIR-MI puts forth an Islamic perspective to ensure the Muslim voice is represented. In offering this perspective, CAIR seeks to empower the American Muslim community and encourage their participation in political and social activism.

CAIR-MI serves as a credible voice for Michigan Muslims, and has been present in most, if not all, forms of local media and multiple international media outlets. CAIR-MI provides a more accurate image of Islam and Muslims and well-informed dissemination of American Muslim views to public audiences.
