| New Anti-Trespassing Law Could be Dangerous for Activists |
| CAIR-Chicago | March 14, 2012 | By Agnieszka Karoluk, Communications Intern |
|
|
|
|
Reflecting back on a tumultuous year of Occupy movements and the Arab Spring, the U.S. government has found many opportunities to pass not one, but two new anti-protesting laws. After becoming familiar with legal jargon pertaining to space, protesting, and first amendment rights Ð one would think the U.S. government was finished hassling activists. This could not be further from the truth. |

| The impact of surveillance programs on the American-Muslim community |
| CAIR-Chicago | March 15th, 2012 | By Uzma Mushtaq, Communications Intern |
|
|
|
|
Due to NYPD surveillance tactics, a feeling of suspicion has swept over American-Muslims, leaving some Muslims distrustful of others in their own community. The impact of this is already being felt within various Muslim organizations in New York where attendance is noticeably down in mosques and political discussion among students has been stifled. |
