Trump vs. the Shia Muslim community -- Fill the courtroom

[Ali Naquvi]

Salaam Dear Community,

Please see the message below about the lawsuit against Donald Trump's Muslim Ban filed on behalf of the Shia community. Their first day in court is tomorrow and they are looking to fill the courtroom. If you are in the DC/MD/VA area, please do your best to be there and/or pass this on to your Muslim contacts in that area.

Jazakallah,

Mohammad Ali

Dear Colleagues - 

Muslim Advocates invites you to join us at the DC District Court on Friday, April 21 for oral arguments in UMAA v. Trump.

The Muslim community is having its day in court, and we want you there.

Friday, April 21 at 2:00 pm will be the first time that any DC court has heard arguments against the Muslim ban, and our own legal director, Johnathan Smith, will be arguing part of the case.

UMAA v. Trump, which Muslim Advocates, the Southern Poverty Law Center, Americans United for Separation of Church and State and Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer LLP filed jointly last month is the first example of any court case arguing that the Muslim ban infringes on the religious liberty of the Shi'a Muslim community.

Will you come out to show the judge that the people are against the Muslim ban? 

Please fill out this form to RSVP: https://goo.gl/forms/Ybg 7ThRwDktLuEEl1.
