Muslim Day at the Capitol

May 13 @ 9:00 am - 3:00 pm

$30

This year, CAIR Oklahoma celebrates its 10th year of hosting Muslim Day at the Capitol! 

The Annual Muslim Day at the Capitol presents attendees with a chance to learn more about state government and how to interact with elected leaders and hold them accountable. The day includes advocacy training sessions, youth activities, and opportunities to meet with state legislators.

Registrants will receive a 2024 limited-edition CAIR Oklahoma tote bag, breakfast and lunch, a 2024 CAIR-OK Advocacy Guide and other materials for office visits with legislators.

This year’s keynote speaker is Representative Ruwa Romman from HD 97 in Georgia. Ruwa is passionate about politics, civic engagement, interfaith dialogue and community service. As an organizer, policy analyst, and public speaker, she works to empower communities and everyday people to become more civically engaged. In 2020, Ruwa leveraged her platform to inform thousands of Georgians how to get involved in the elections, and worked as a field organizer for Asian American Advocacy Fund. Ruwa also helped establish the Georgia Volunteer Hub to train the influx of Georgia and national volunteers while connecting them to local Georgia organizations. Ruwa has volunteered in every election cycle since 2014 to help flip Georgia blue. In the past, she also worked as a Field Organizer for the Georgia Muslim Voter Project, as well as served as Communications Director for CAIR Georgia. Ruwa was born in Jordan and is the granddaughter of Palestinian refugees. Her family moved to Georgia when she was 7 years old. To learn more about Ruwa, visit her website here

Registration is $30 for general admission and $20 for student admission.
