The Council of Islamic Organizations of Greater Chicago has launched an Anti-Racism Task Force to educate and raise awareness about systemic racism, fight for reform through legislation, and take action through community projects. The pandemic and the senseless killing of Black men and women has highlighted the racial and economic injustices in our nation and this challenge is a way for the Muslims of Illinois to come together and empower our communities to address the issues at hand, said council board member Sabina Qadir of Naperville.
The task force s goals include sensitivity training at the council s member mosques, a communitywide summer service challenge, a yearlong public relations campaign, grants for diversity and inclusion in youth programs, and a Muslim Day of Action.
