Over the past week, Ilhan has faced anti-Muslim attack after attack from far-right Members of Congress — inciting an increase in hateful messages, voicemails, and death threats.
And she’s not alone in the hatred and discrimination she experiences. Anti-Muslim attacks are on the rise, and according to a recent study, the majority of Muslims in America feel that society and political and corporate leadership don’t take Islamophobia seriously.
No one should have to live in fear of their safety simply because of what they look like or how they worship.
That’s why Ilhan is fighting every day to defend the values of religious freedom enshrined in the Constitution and build a better country where no one is left behind.
