Sign the Petition to Recognize Eid as a National Holiday | A webinar on Reparations | New Social Media Posts on Islamophobia

In New Jersey, the Montclair school district has made Eid a school holiday. The school district is one of the newest to designate the holiday as time off, following many others in the United States.

The push to make Eid a school holiday is backed by Muslims and others of different faith-based communities. Many are advocating for the inclusion of different faith-based holidays to be included in official school holidays. As the United States claims to be a secular republic, it is consistent in the ways that it protects Christianity as a historical foundation of the state. As a result, Christian holidays are the norm, and members of other faith-based communities fight to be included.

To support the movement to recognize Eid as a national holiday, please sign this petition.

ICNA CSJ's partners, Religions for Peace, have put together a webinar on the subject of reparations. Imam Khalid Griggs will also be speaking during this webinar. Please join us for a discussion on the moral and spiritual responsibilities for addressing racial injustice through reparations.  Join us on Thursday, July 22nd at 2PM EST.

Azeezah Kanji for Al-Jazeera says it best. Injustice in Canada is linked- from the erasure of the First-Nations people to the Islamophobic violence against Muslim communities in Canada, this oppression has been legalized, and is accepted despite Canada's egalitarian image!
