As we embark on the month of February, a time that holds significance for numerous communities worldwide, we at CAIR-Chicago pause to reflect on the core values that bind us together: solidarity, resilience, and unwavering commitment to justice. In these times of uncertainty, we must stand united, leveraging our collective strength to overcome challenges and pave the way for a brighter future.

As we embrace the beginning of 2024, I would like to extend my heartfelt appreciation for your unwavering commitment to justice and civil rights. Together, we have overcome challenges and achieved significant progress as a community. Your dedication has been the driving force behind our successes, and I am honored to stand with you during these critical times.

As we step into the brisk winds of November where we continue to face international and domestic crisis management, I am filled with gratitude for the resilience, unity, and strength that our community is demonstrating.
