The Council on American Islamic Relations of Oklahoma is a uniquely positioned nonprofit providing a continuum of supports to the Muslim community in Oklahoma through legislative advocacy, civil rights assistance, refugee “neighbor” re-settlement, interfaith dialogue and various programs for education and mission including to those most vulnerable within the Muslim community.
CAIR-OK has established a highly respected brand as a trusted ally for civil rights and legislative advocacy. More importantly, CAIR-OK goes beyond the work of the Islamic community, partnering with other nonprofits and civic organizations to create a better Oklahoma.
